Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100307613DEVICE FOR BLOCKING AND RELEASING A FLUID FLOW AND ASSOCIATED METHOD - The invention relates to a device for blocking and releasing a fluid flow having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A main opening is disposed between the inlet and the outlet and associated with a main blocking element that can seal off the main opening. An actuation device can move the main blocking element from the open position to the closed position, and the main blocking element is disposed in the closed position such that an increased fluid pressure at the fluid inlet relative to the fluid outlet brings about a press force holding the main blocking element in the closed position. A fluid overflow path is provided between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet that can be sealed off by the actuation device. The main blocking element can be released by the actuation device and the fluid overflow path can be opened by the actuation device. In the release position, an opening force for moving the main blocking element into the open position can be applied thereto, so that it remains in the closed position only as long the fluid pressure overcompensates for the opening force.12-09-2010

20090099641DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR MEDICAL DEVICES - The invention is directed a delivery system for implantation a self-expanding medical device in a body which includes a control handle and a catheter portion. The catheter portion includes an outer restraining member which covers the collapsed, medical device, an inner catheter member having a distal end including a region upon which the medical device is mounted, and an outer sheath which is removably attached to the control handle. The outer sheath creates a conduit for the catheter portion to prevent the inner catheter member from moving axially when the outer restraining member is retracted. The control handle has a rotatable thumbwheel to actuate a retraction mechanism attached to the proximal end of the outer restraining member which moves the restraining member in a proximal direction to deploy the medical device.04-16-2009
20100131039APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IN SITU EXPANSION OF PROSTHETIC DEVICE - A system for expanding a device in a conduit or orifice of a human body includes an expansion device that is movable from a first configuration to a second configuration. External surfaces of the expansion device can collectively have a non-cylindrical cross-section relative to a main axis of the expansion device, such that the external surfaces of the expansion device generally conform to the anatomical shape of the conduit or orifice when the expansion device is in the second configuration.05-27-2010

20100161036QUICK-CONNECT PROSTHETIC HEART VALVE AND METHODS - A heart valve prosthesis that can be quickly and easily implanted during a surgical procedure is provided. The prosthetic valve has a base stent that is deployed at a treatment site, and a valve component configured to quickly connect to the base stent. The base stent may take the form of a self- or balloon-expandable stent that expands outward against the native valve with or without leaflet excision. The valve component has a non-expandable prosthetic valve and a self- or balloon-expandable coupling stent for attachment to the base stent, thereby fixing the position of the valve component relative to the base stent. The prosthetic valve may be a commercially available to valve with a sewing ring and the coupling stent attaches to the sewing ring. The system is particularly suited for rapid deployment of heart valves in a conventional open-heart surgical environment. A catheter-based system and method for deployment is provided.06-24-2010
20100331972Unitary Quick Connect Prosthetic Heart Valve and Deployment System and Methods - A quick-connect heart valve prosthesis that can be quickly and easily implanted during a surgical procedure is provided. The heart valve includes a substantially non-expandable, non-compressible prosthetic valve and a plastically-expandable coupling stent, thereby enabling attachment to the annulus without sutures. A small number of guide sutures may be provided for aortic valve orientation. The prosthetic valve may be a commercially available valve with a sewing ring with the coupling stent attached thereto. The coupling stent may expand from a conical deployment shape to a conical expanded shape, and may include web-like struts connected between axially-extending posts. A system and method for deployment includes a hollow two-piece handle through which a balloon catheter passes. A valve holder is stored with the heart valve and the handle easily attaches thereto to improve valve preparation steps.12-30-2010
20110147251PROSTHETIC HEART VALVE PACKAGING AND DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM - Packaging for prosthetic heart valves including an assembly for securely retaining a heart valve within a jar and facilitating retrieval therefrom. The assembly includes a packaging sleeve that fits closely within the jar and has a clip structure for securing a valve holder. Contrary to previous designs, in one embodiment the valve holder is directed downward into the jar, and the valve is retained with an inflow end upward. The valve may have flexible leaflets, and a leaflet parting member on the end of the shaft extends through the leaflets and couples with the valve holder. The assembly of the packaging sleeve, valve, and holder can then be removed from the jar and a valve delivery tube connected with the holder, or to the leaflet parting member. The packaging sleeve may be bifurcated into two halves connected at a living hinge to facilitate removal from around the valve/holder subassembly. The packaging system facilitates attachment of the valve delivery tube for use in a quick-connect valve implant procedure.06-23-2011
