Assignee:

Edwards Lifesciences Corporation - Irvine CA

International Classification:

A61F 2/24

US Classification:

623 211

Abstract:

A heart valve delivery apparatus includes a valve carrying member. A prosthetic valve is crimped onto the valve carrying member at a location that is distal or proximal to the balloon member, thereby providing a smaller profile delivery apparatus.

International Classification:

A61F 2/24

Abstract:

Embodiments of a balloon assembly are disclosed. The balloon assembly can include an inflatable balloon having an inflated state and a deflated state. The balloon in the deflated state can include a valve retaining portion, a distal tapered portion connected to a distal end of the valve retaining portion, a proximal tapered portion connected to a proximal end of the valve retaining portion, a distal leg connected to the distal end of the distal tapered portion, and a proximal leg connected to the proximal end of the proximal tapered portion. The distal tapered portion can include one or more axial folds. The proximal end of the distal tapered portion can include a first radial fold connected to a second radial fold, the first and second radial folds forming a pocket extending distally at the proximal end of the distal tapered portion.

International Classification:

A61F 2/24
A61B 17/00

Abstract:

Catheterization methods and apparatuses allow sensing of pressures inside the heart and for removing air from catheters. A delivery system can use the same components that are used to deliver a valve repair or replacement device to measure the pressure in the atrium or other heart chamber. A pressure sensor can be included in one of the catheters of the delivery system or pressure can be sensed through the same port that is used to flush a catheter. The delivery system can be inserted into the heart, delivering the valve repair or replacement device to the native valve, such as the mitral valve, the tricuspid valve, the aortic valve, or the pulmonary valve.

International Classification:

A61F 2/24

Abstract:

A valve catheter is advanced through a patient's vasculature while a prosthetic heart valve is attached to flexible extensions along a distal end thereof. The valve catheter is advanced through a tubular sleeve for exposing the prosthetic heart valve and allowing the prosthetic heart valve to self-expand while the extensions remain attached to the prosthetic heart valve. A release mechanism on a handle portion is actuated for releasing the prosthetic heart valve from the extensions, thereby implanting the prosthetic heart in a native heart valve. If the operator is not satisfied with the initial expansion, the prosthetic heart valve may be reoriented before release from the extensions by retracting the prosthetic heart valve back into the tubular sleeve, adjusting the orientation of the prosthetic heart valve and then re-advancing the valve catheter from the tubular sleeve for allowing the prosthetic heart valve to re-self-expand at a more desirable location.

International Classification:

A61F 2/24
A61F 2/958

Abstract:

An assembly for treating a native valve in a human heart includes a prosthetic heart valve having an expandable frame and a valvular structure. The assembly also includes a tubular sleeve and a valve catheter disposed within the sleeve. A plurality of metal extension arms are coupled to the valve catheter for holding the prosthetic heart valve. The extension arms are configured to radially expand with the prosthetic heart valve during expansion of the prosthetic heart valve at a treatment site. A plurality of metal rods extend distally from the valve catheter. The rods are axially movable relative to the extension arms. A plurality of release members are provided for releasing the prosthetic heart valve from the extension arms upon movement of the metal rods.

Assignee:

Edwards Lifesciences Corporation - Irvine CA

International Classification:

A61F 2/24

Abstract:

An assembly for treating a native heart valve can include a prosthetic valve and a delivery apparatus. The prosthetic valve can include an expandable frame, a valve structure, a first end with apertures formed therein, and a second end. The delivery apparatus can include a valve catheter, flexible extension arms, slidable wires, and release members. First ends of the arms can be coupled to a cylindrical coupling element, second ends of the arms can be releasably coupled to the prosthetic valve, and the coupling element can be connected to the distal end of the valve catheter. The slidable wires can extend distally from the distal end of the valve catheter. The release members can be coupled to the distal end of the valve catheter and can extend through a respective aperture of the prosthetic valve, thereby forming a releasable connection between the prosthetic valve and the slidable wires.
