  • INTRAPARIETAL AORTIC VALVE REINFORCEMENT DEVICE AND A REINFORCED BIOLOGICAL AORTIC VALVE
    Publication number: 20110022167
    Abstract: A reinforcement device for a biological valve includes an arrangement of supports configured to establish a double-trigone geometry in the valve and coupled to a base upon which the valve may be mounted. A plurality of commissural supports establish the geometry of a commissural trigone, and a plurality of intercommissural supports establish the geometry of an intercommissural trigone. A method for reinforcing a biological valve includes using commissural supports in conjunction with intercommissural supports, both sets of supports coupled to a base upon which the valve is mounted.
