Abstract: The present invention relates to a prosthetic device for deployment in the native aortic valve region of a heart, comprising a tubular spacer element, the spacer element being configured for placement within the native aortic valve region of a heart without contacting to the native aortic annulus; the prosthetic device further comprises at least one anchoring element designed for anchoring the prosthetic device within the heart, and at least one connecting element, coupling the spacer element to the at least one anchoring element; in the prosthetic device, the tubular spacer element further comprises a coaptation skirt element being connected to the outer surface of the spacer element, such, that the coaptation skirt element is inflatable during diastole.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a heart valve prosthesis for implantation into the heart of a patient, wherein the heart valve prosthesis comprises a stent frame and a plurality of cells arranged in circumferential rows, a valve element being mounted to the prosthetic heart valve and comprising at least two, preferably three, leaflets, a skirt attached to the stent frame, wherein the skirt comprises a skirt main body and at least two, preferably three, skirt flaps being integral with or attached to the skirt main body, wherein the skirt main body covers at least the proximalmost row of cells of the stent frame, wherein each of the skirt flaps, in a folded state, forms a decoupling element, and wherein each of the skirt flaps covers one commissure cell of the distalmost row of cells of the stent frame, and wherein the leaflets, via a decoupling element, are, respectively, mounted to the prosthetic heart valve within the commissure cells of the distalmost row of cells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a prosthetic device for treating venous backflow, wherein the prosthetic device is configured for placement into the junction between right atrium and vena cava inferior of a patient. The prosthetic device comprises an expandable stent frame and a valve element attached to the stent frame as well as an annular positioning assembly coupled to the stent frame and extending outwardly and radially from the exterior area of the stent frame.
