Patent number: 10874510Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve may include a collapsible and expandable stent having a proximal end, a distal end, an annulus section adjacent the proximal end, and a plurality of cells connected to one another in annular rows around the stent, a cuff attached to the stent, and a sealing member attached to the cuff and extending from a proximal end of the cuff to a free edge. The sealing member may be movable between an extended condition in which the free edge is located proximally of the proximal end of the stent, and an inverted condition in which the free edge is located distally of the proximal end of the stent and a first surface of the sealing member confronts an outward-facing surface of the cuff. Various mechanisms for moving the sealing member are also described.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2018Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventors: Peter N. Braido, Yousef F. Alkhatib, Steven Frederick Anderl, Jacob John Daly, Mina S. Fahim, Kent J. Smith, Ralph Joseph Thomas

Patent number: 10639148Abstract: A prosthetic valve assembly for implantation in a patient's circulatory system includes a stent, a valve member coupled to the stent and defining a preferred landing zone relative to anatomical structures in the patient's circulatory system, and at least one marker positioned in a predetermined relationship relative to the landing zone of the valve member, the marker being visually distinguishable from the stent using an imaging technique. By observing the marker, the prosthetic valve assembly may be implanted in the patient so that certain ones of the anatomical structures lie within the landing zone.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2017Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventors: Peter N. Braido, Gary W. Geiger, Thomas Mark Benson, Steven Frederick Anderl, Aditee Kurane

Patent number: 10537287Abstract: Prosthetic heart devices may be implanted into the heart with a sensor coupled to the device, the sensor being configured to measure physiological data, such as blood pressure, in the heart. Devices that may employ such sensors include prosthetic heart valves and occlusion devices, although sensor systems may be deployed in the heart separate from other implantable devices. The sensors may include a body with different configurations for attaching to the implantable device, such as apertures for sutures or fingers for connecting to structures of the implantable device. The sensors may provide data that allow a determination of aortic regurgitation or other information indicative of function of the implantable device and patient health during and after implantation of the device.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2017Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventors: Peter N. Braido, Mina S. Fahim, Steven Frederick Anderl, Jason White, Paul E. Ashworth, Morgan Low, Loell Boyce Moon, Neelakantan Saikrishnan

Patent number: 10433791Abstract: A prosthetic device for implanting in a patient's heart includes (i) a therapeutic device capable of restoring function to a native heart valve; and (ii) at least one sensor including a body, an inductor coil disposed within the body, and a capacitor in communication with the inductor coil, the at least one sensor being coupled to the therapeutic device, and being configured to monitor proper function of the therapeutic device within the patient's heart.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2015Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventors: Peter N. Braido, Mina S. Fahim, Loell Boyce Moon, Paul E. Ashworth, Neelakantan Saikrishnan, Steven Frederick Anderl

Patent number: 10206777Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve includes a stent having a collapsed condition and an expanded condition. The stent has a proximal end, a distal end and a plurality of cells, each cell being formed by a plurality of struts. A valve assembly is secured to the stent and includes a cuff and a plurality of leaflets. The plurality of leaflets are attached to the cuff adjacent an underwire that extends about the perimeter of the cuff.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2015Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventors: Steven Frederick Anderl, Peter N. Braido, Julia A. Schraut

Patent number: 10143551Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve 300 may include a collapsible and expandable stent 306 having a proximal end 302, a distal end 304, an annulus section adjacent the proximal end, and a plurality of cells connected to one another in annular rows around the stent, a cuff 312 attached to the stent, and a sealing member 322 attached to the cuff and extending from a proximal end 313 of the cuff to a free edge 323. The sealing member 322 may be movable between an extended condition in which the free edge 323 is located proximally of the proximal end 302 of the stent 306, and an inverted condition in which the free edge is located distally of the proximal end of the stent and a first surface 324 of the sealing member confronts an outward-facing surface of the cuff. Various mechanisms for moving the sealing member 322 are also described.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2015Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc.Inventors: Peter N.
