International Classification:

A61F 2/24

Abstract:

Expandable docking stations for docking an expandable valve can include a valve seat, one or more sealing portions, and/or one or more retaining portions. The valve seat can be unexpandable or substantially unexpandable beyond a deployed size. The one or more sealing portions can be connected to the valve seat and extend radially outward of the valve seat. The one or more sealing portions can be constructed to expand outward of the valve seat and provide a seal over a range of sizes. The one or more retaining portions can be connected to the one or more sealing portions. The one or more retaining portions are configured to retain the docking station at a deployed position.

Tram Ngoc Nguyen - Santa Ana CA, US

International Classification:

A61F 2/24

Abstract:

An implantable prosthetic valve can include an annular frame comprising an inflow end and an outflow end and being radially collapsible and expandable between a radially collapsed configuration and a radially expanded configuration. A leaflet structure can be positioned within the frame and secured thereto. An annular sealing member can be positioned around an outer surface of the frame, wherein the sealing member has a periodic, undulating shape. An outer skirt can be positioned around an outer surface of the sealing member and secured to the frame.

Filed:

Dec 15, 2014

Appl. No.:

14/571029

Inventors:

Michael G. Valdez - Riverside CA, US
Tram Ngoc Nguyen - Santa Ana CA, US

International Classification:

A61F 2/24

Abstract:

Prosthetic valve embodiments are described herein that include a frame and a valve member mounted within the frame. The valve members can have a plurality of leaflets that are affixed to one another along their inflow edges, with articulating edges projecting from the inflow edges in the outflow direction. In an open configuration, the articulating edges can be collapsed radially inward by the forward flow of blood through the prosthetic valve, thereby creating a plurality of discrete flow areas between the frame and the inflow edges of the leaflets. In a closed configuration, the leaflets can be pushed radially outward by the reverse flow of blood, thereby closing the plurality of discrete flow areas.
