20120271398 | AORTIC BIOPROSTHESIS AND SYSTEMS FOR DELIVERY THEREOF - Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to stents, valved-stents, and associated methods and systems for their delivery via minimally-invasive surgery. | 10-25-2012 |
20130231736 | Catheter Delivery System For Stent Valve - A delivery catheter for a stent. The delivery catheter may comprise a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end includes a stent attachment region adapted to receive a stent. The stent may be of the self-expanding type. The catheter further comprises a handle at its proximal end and at least one sheath which may at least partially circumferentially cover said stent such as to retain it in a collapsed configuration. The sheath is coupled at its proximal end to an actuator located on said handle portion. | 09-05-2013 |
20130274870 | Stent Valve, Delivery Apparatus and Method Therefor - A delivery catheter ( | 10-17-2013 |
20130274873 | Transcatheter Stent-Valves and Methods, Systems and Devices for Addressing Para-Valve Leakage - Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a stent-valve for transcatheter implantation to replace a cardiac valve. In some embodiments, the stent valve being compressible to a compressed state for delivery, and expandable to an operative state for implantation. In some embodiments, the stent-valve comprises a stent, a plurality of leaflets for defining a prosthetic valve, an inner skirt, an outer skirt, and a paravalve seal for sealing against surrounding tissue. In some embodiments, the paravalve seal comprising material that swells in response to contact with blood or components thereof. | 10-17-2013 |
20140200649 | Systems, Methods and Devices for Retrograde Pericardial Release of a Prosthetic Heart Valve - Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to stents, valved-stents, and associated methods and systems for their delivery via minimally-invasive surgery. | 07-17-2014 |
20140277402 | STENTS, VALVED-STENTS AND METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DELIVERY THEREOF - Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to stents, valved-stents, (e.g., single-stent-valves and double stent/valved-stent systems) and associated methods and systems for their delivery via minimally-invasive surgery. The stent component comprises a first stent section ( | 09-18-2014 |
20140350668 | Prosthesis Seals and Methods for Sealing an Expandable Prosthesis - Embodiments of the present disclosure are related to devices and techniques for para-valve sealing of an expandable stent-valve implanted using a catheter. In some embodiments, a stent-valve is provided which comprises a seal sleeve/cuff containing material that swells when contacted by blood. A piercing tool may be included and used to permit a user to puncture the sleeve/cuff prior to introduction into a patient's body. In some embodiments, the sleeve/cuff has an integral tubular structure configured to withstand balloon expansion of the stent-valve during or after implantation. | 11-27-2014 |
