Quick-Connect Prosthetic Heart Valve And Methods

View page
US Patent:
8308798, Nov 13, 2012
Filed:
Dec 10, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/635471
Inventors:
Rafael Pintor - Mission Viejo CA, US
Mark Chau - Aliso Viejo CA, US
Travis Oba - Corona CA, US
August Yambao - Temecula CA, US
Louis Campbell - Santa Ana CA, US
Tammy Huntley - Foothill Ranch CA, US
Qinggang Zeng - Irvine CA, US
Carey Cristea - Irvine CA, US
Faisal Kalam - Corona CA, US
Assignee:
Edwards Lifesciences Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
A61F 2/24
US Classification:
623 218, 623 217
Abstract:
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.

US Patent:
8348998, Jan 8, 2013
Filed:
Jun 23, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/821628
Inventors:
Rafael Pintor - Mission Viejo CA, US
Mark Chau - Aliso Viejo CA, US
Travis Oba - Corona CA, US
August Yambao - Temecula CA, US
Louis A. Campbell - Santa Ana CA, US
Tammy Huntley - Foothill Ranch CA, US
Qinggang Zeng - Irvine CA, US
Carey Cristea - Irvine CA, US
Faisal Kalam - Corona CA, US
Assignee:
Edwards Lifesciences Corporation - Irvine CA
International Classification:
A61F 2/24
US Classification:
623 211, 623 111, 623 124, 623 126
Abstract:
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.

International Classification:
A61F 2/24
US Classification:
623 211, 623 217, 623 218
Abstract:
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 frame, 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 frame attached thereto. The frame 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 an integrated handle shaft and balloon catheter. A valve holder is stored with the heart valve and the handle shaft easily attaches thereto to improve valve preparation steps.
