  • TRANSVALVULAR INTRAANNULAR IMPLANT FOR VALVE REPAIR
    Publication number: 20240058127
    Abstract: Mitral valve prolapse and mitral regurgitation can be treating by implanting in the mitral annulus a transvalvular implant. The transvalvular implant has a first end, a first anchoring portion located proximate the first end, a second end, a second anchoring portion located proximate the second end, and a central portion. The transvalvular implant can include a wire form curved body The transvalvular implant can include eyelets and the center of the transvalvular implant can include an opening. The central portion can be positioned so that it extends transversely across a coaptive edge formed by the closure of the mitral valve leaflets. Tricuspid regurgitation can be treated by implanting in the tricuspid annulus a transvalvular bridge. The transvalvular bridge can have a first anchoring portion and a second anchoring portion. The transvalvular bridge can positioned so that the bridge extends transversely across a coaptive edges formed by the closure of the leaflets.
