Prosthesis (i.e., Artificial Body Members), Parts Thereof, Or Aids And Accessories Therefor > Heart Valve > Flexible Leaflet > Supported By Frame > Resilient Frame Resilient FrameResilient Frame 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.11/23/06 - 20060265056 - Heart valve prosthesis and methods of manufacture and use A heart valve prosthesis is provided having a self-expanding multi-level frame that supports a valve body comprising a skirt and plurality of coapting leaflets. The frame transitions between a contracted delivery configuration that enables percutaneous transluminal delivery, and an expanded deployed configuration having an asymmetric hourglass shape. The valve body ... 11/16/06 - 20060259137 - Minimally invasive valve replacement system Methods and systems for minimally invasive replacement of a valve. The system includes a collapsible valve and anchoring structure. The valve assembly comprises a valve and anchoring structure for the valve, dimensioned to fit substantially within the valve sinus. ... 11/16/06 - 20060259136 - Heart valve prosthesis and methods of manufacture and use A heart valve prosthesis is provided having a self-expanding multi-level frame that supports a valve body comprising a skirt and plurality of coapting leaflets. The frame transitions between a contracted delivery configuration that enables percutaneous transluminal delivery, and an expanded deployed configuration having an asymmetric hourglass shape. The valve body ... 10/26/06 - 20060241745 - Blood flow controlling apparatus A blood flow controlling apparatus, which is configured to be implanted into a blood circulatory system of a patient, comprises an anchoring means, which is arranged to fix the position of the apparatus in the blood circulatory system, and a valve means being connected to the anchoring means. The valve ... 08/31/06 - 20060195183 - Apparatus and methods for replacing a cardiac valve An apparatus and method for replacing a cardiac valve includes an expandable support member having oppositely disposed first and second ends, a main body portion extending between the ends, and a prosthetic valve within the main body portion. The main body portion has an annular shape for expanding into position ... 08/10/06 - 20060178740 - Cardiac-valve prosthesis A cardiac-valve prosthesis which can be used, for example, as a valve for percutaneous implantation. The prosthesis includes an armature for anchorage of the valve prosthesis in the implantation site. The armature defines a lumen for passage of the blood flow and supports a set of prosthetic valve leaflets, which, ... 08/03/06 - 20060173537 - Rolled minimally invasive heart valves Expandable heart valves for minimally invasive valve replacement surgeries are disclosed. The valves are rolled into a first, contracted configuration for minimally invasive delivery and then unrolled or unfurled at the implantation site. One- and two-piece stents may be used in conjunction with a plurality of flexible leaflet-forming membranes. The ... 07/27/06 - 20060167543 - Endoluminal cardiac and venous valve prostheses and methods of manufacture and delivery thereof This invention relates to prosthetic cardiac and venous valves and a single catheter device and minimally invasive techniques for percutaneous and transluminal valvuloplasty and prosthetic valve implantation. ... 06/22/06 - 20060136052 - Cardiovascular valve assembly A cardiovascular valve assembly comprising a base member that is affixed to a patient using conventional sutures or staples, and a replaceable valve member including a valve frame that supports a plurality of valve leaflets. The valve member mates with the base member, and can be detached from the base ... 03/16/06 - 20060058872 - Methods and apparatus for endovascular heart valve replacement comprising tissue grasping elements The present invention provides an apparatus for endovascularly replacing a patient's heart valve. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes an expandable anchor supporting a replacement valve, the anchor and replacement valve being adapted for percutaneous delivery and deployment to replace the patient's heart valve, the anchor having a braid having ... 03/16/06 - 20060058871 - Device and method for treatment of heart valve regurgitation In one embodiment, the present invention provides a prosthesis that can be implanted within a heart to at least partially block gaps that may be present between the two mitral valve leaflets. In one preferred embodiment, the prosthesis includes an anchoring ring that expands within the left atrium to anchor ... 03/09/06 - 20060052867 - Replacement prosthetic heart valve, system and method of implant A method of functionally replacing a previously implanted prosthetic heart valve. The method includes positioning a replacement prosthetic heart valve within an internal region defined by the previously implanted prosthetic heart valve. The replacement prosthetic heart valve is then physically docked to the previously implanted prosthetic heart valve. With this ... 02/02/06 - 20060025857 - Implantable prosthetic valve The present invention provides valve prostheses adapted to be initially crimped in a narrow configuration suitable for catheterization through body ducts to a target location and adapted to be deployed by exerting substantially radial forces from within by means of a deployment device to a deployed state in the target ... 10/13/05 - 20050228495 - Suspended heart valve devices, systems, and methods for supplementing, repairing, or replacing a native heart valve A valve prosthesis is sized and configured to rest within a blood path subject to antegrade and retrograde blood flow. A trestle element on the prosthesis extends across the blood path. A leaflet assembly is suspended from the trestle element and extends into the blood path in alignment with blood ... 10/13/05 - 20050228494 - Controlled separation heart valve frame A highly flexible prosthetic heart valve having an internal leaflet support frame that is designed to separate into individual cusps after implantation. The leaflet support frame (or “stent” or “wireform”) has a plurality of alternating cusps on an inflow end and commissures on an outflow end. The cusps of flexible ... 09/08/05 - 20050197695 - Minimally-invasive cardiac-valve prosthesis A cardiac-valve prosthesis is adapted for percutaneous implantation. The prosthesis includes an armature adapted for deployment in a radially expanded implantation position, the armature including a support portion and an anchor portion, which are substantially axially coextensive with respect to one another. A set of leaflets is coupled to the ... ### FreshPatents.com Support |
