  • Transcatheter valve prosthesis delivery system with recapturing feature and method
    Patent number: 11826250
    Abstract: A delivery system for percutaneously deploying a valve prosthesis. The system includes a catheter assembly including a delivery sheath capsule and a handle having an oscillating device. The capsule is configured to compressively retain the valve prosthesis during implantation. After the valve prosthesis is partially exposed during implantation, the oscillating device can create a vibratory motion to reduce the friction between the valve prosthesis and the delivery sheath capsule in order to recapture the valve prosthesis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 9, 2020
    Date of Patent: November 28, 2023
    Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.
    Inventors: Jason Quill, Paul Rothstein, Thomas Secord, Byron Johnson
