International Classification:

A61F 2/06
A61F 2/24

US Classification:

623 124, 623 214, 623 217

Abstract:

An valve prosthesis, such as an artificial venous valve, having a support frame and leaf structure comprising one or more leaflets in which the outer edge of each leaflet engages the inner circumference of the bodily passageway along a serpentine path urged against the passageway by an expandable frame, while the inner edges move in response to fluid to restrict retrograde flow. Optionally, one or more elements can extend from the support frame/leaf structure to provide centering support and/or protection from the leaflet adhering to the vessel wall. In one embodiment, the centering support structure comprises a second or third expandable frames attached to and extending from the proximal and/or distal ends of main valve structure and support frame. In another embodiment, one or more support elements extend outward from the valve support frame to engage the vessel wall to provide greater longitudinal stability.

A61F 2/82

US Classification:

606200, 623 112, 623 115

Abstract:

A filter may have an apical hub and a plurality of divergent legs. A first attachment member may be separate from, but attached to the second end of at least one of the plurality of divergent legs. A second attachment member may be separate from, but attached to a stent. The first and second attachment members may be separate from, but attachable to one another to releasably attach the filter to the stent. One of the first attachment member and the second attachment member may include an attachment wire that is positioned in a lumen of a tubular member or one of the first attachment member and the second attachment member may comprise a cannula. In some implementations, an upward motion applied to the retrieval connection member may disengage at least one attachment wire of the first attachment member from the second attachment member.

US Classification:

623001110, 604524000

Abstract:

A delivery system () for implanting a medical device () such as a venous valve into the vasculature of a patient. The delivery system includes a delivery catheter () having a device-containing portion () adjacent to the distal end () thereof, and an inner member () extending through the catheter and beyond the distal end thereof, to an atraumatic distal tip portion () forward of the catheter distal end. Delivery catheter () includes inner tube (), flat wire coil () compression fitted therearound, and outer tube () mechanically connected to roughened outer surface () of the inner tube through the spacing of the coil. Delivery catheter () can be provided with a window () to allow fluoroscopic visualization of a stent valve within the delivery system.

International Classification:

A61F 2/24

US Classification:

623 213, 623 217

Abstract:

A valve prosthesis, such as an artificial venous valve, is described. The valve prosthesis has a support frame formed from a cannula and an attached covering that defines an opening adapted to move between a first position in which the opening is open to fluid flow and a second position in which the opening is closed to fluid flow. The support frame includes a leaflet support portion and a circumferential centering support element disposed adjacent the leaflet support portion with respect to a lengthwise axis of the support frame and mirroring the leaflet support portion with respect to a transverse axis of the support frame.
