Heart Valve

Heart Valve patent applications listed are from June 2005 to current and include Date, Patent Application Number, Patent Title, Patent Abstract summary and are linked to the corresponding patent application page.

11/30/06 - 20060271171 - Artificial heart valve
Provided herein is a cardiac valve prosthesis comprising a annulus body having a back face and defining a passage for the flow of blood along an axis of the passage. The passage has a first open end having a greater diameter that its opposed second open end. In a further ...

07/20/06 - 20060161248 - Medical device with leak path
Medical devices that provide valves for regulating fluid flow through a body vessel are provided. The valves include a support frame having one or more adaptations for forming a leak path between the support frame and an interior wall of a body vessel in which the valve is implanted. A ...

04/06/06 - 20060074483 - Method of treatment and devices for the treatment of left ventricular failure
The effects of acute left ventricular heart failure are mitigated by temporary support of the cardiac function through use of either one or both of an expendable temporary one-way valve positioned in the aorta, having a collapsible frame that is expanded upon deployment, and/or a temporary dilation device positioned in ...

02/02/06 - 20060025855 - Translumenally implantable heart valve with multiple chamber formed in place support
A cardiovascular prosthetic valve comprises an inflatable body that has at least a first inflatable chamber and a second inflatable chamber that is not in fluid communication with the first inflatable chamber. The inflatable body is configured to form, at least in part, a generally annular ring. A valve is ...

11/17/05 - 20050256566 - Apparatus and method for improving ventricular function
An approach is disclosed for improving ventricular function of a patient's heart. In one example, an implantable apparatus includes an inflow conduit having first and second ends spaced apart from each other by a sidewall portion. An inflow valve is operatively associated with the inflow conduit to provide for substantially ...

11/03/05 - 20050246013 - System and method for improving ventricular function
An approach is disclosed for improving ventricular function of a patient's heart. According to one embodiment, the system includes a pouch that defines a chamber dimensioned and configured to simulate at least a portion of a heart chamber. The pouch has a sidewall portion extending from an inflow annulus and ...

09/08/05 - 20050197694 - Systems for heart treatment
Described are devices and methods for treating degenerative, congestive heart disease and related valvular dysfunction. Percutaneous and minimally invasive surgical tensioning structures offer devices that mitigate changes in the ventricular structure (i.e., remodeling) and deterioration of global left ventricular performance related to tissue damage precipitating from ischemia, acute myocardial infarction ...

09/08/05 - 20050197693 - Systems for heart treatment
Described are devices and methods for treating degenerative, congestive heart disease and related valvular dysfunction. Percutaneous and minimally invasive surgical tensioning structures offer devices that mitigate changes in the ventricular structure (i.e., remodeling) and deterioration of global left ventricular performance related to tissue damage precipitating from ischemia, acute myocardial infarction ...

09/08/05 - 20050197692 - Systems for heart treatment
Described are devices and methods for treating degenerative, congestive heart disease and related valvular dysfunction. Percutaneous and minimally invasive surgical tensioning structures offer devices that mitigate changes in the ventricular structure (i.e., remodeling) and deterioration of global left ventricular performance related to tissue damage precipitating from ischemia, acute myocardial infarction ...

07/21/05 - 20050159810 - Devices and methods for repairing cardiac valves
Devices and methods for the repair of a defective cardiac valve are provided. The implantable devices provide a leaflet coaptation surface and correct for one or more prolapsing segments of a valve leaflet. The methods involve implanting one or more devices within the defective cardiac valve. In certain embodiments, the ...
