==GUIDEWIRE FOR PACING DURING REPLACEMENT HEART VALVE DELIVERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18598313 titled 'GUIDEWIRE FOR PACING DURING REPLACEMENT HEART VALVE DELIVERY

'''Simplified Explanation''': 

This patent application describes a guidewire that can be used for delivering and implanting a replacement heart valve implant, as well as pacing the patient's heart during the implantation process.

* The guidewire includes an elongate shaft with a distal section and a proximal section, a coiled portion within the distal section, and one or more electrodes within the coiled portion for pacing the heart.
* The proximal section of the guidewire is designed to provide an electrical connection with a pacing system.

'''Key Features and Innovation''':

* Guidewire for delivering and implanting replacement heart valve implants.
* Ability to pace the patient's heart during the implantation process.
* Includes electrodes for pacing the heart.
* Proximal section allows for electrical connection with a pacing system.

'''Potential Applications''':

* Cardiac surgery
* Heart valve replacement procedures
* Pacing during medical interventions

'''Problems Solved''':

* Facilitates precise delivery and implantation of heart valve implants.
* Enables pacing of the heart during procedures.
* Improves overall control and accuracy during cardiac surgeries.

'''Benefits''':

* Enhanced precision in heart valve implantation.
* Improved patient outcomes during cardiac procedures.
* Increased efficiency and control for medical professionals.

'''Commercial Applications''''':

Cardiac medical device industry: This technology can be utilized by medical device companies to develop advanced guidewires for cardiac procedures, potentially improving patient outcomes and surgical efficiency.

'''Questions about Guidewire for Heart Valve Implantation and Pacing''':

1. How does the guidewire facilitate pacing of the heart during implantation procedures?
2. What are the potential benefits of using this guidewire in cardiac surgeries?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A guidewire may be used for delivering and implanting a replacement heart valve implant and may also be used for pacing the patient's heart during implantation of the replacement heart valve implant. The guidewire includes an elongate shaft including a distal section and a proximal section extending proximally from the distal section, a coiled portion disposed within the distal section, and one or more electrodes disposed within the coiled portion, the one or more electrodes adapted for pacing the heart. The proximal section is adapted to provide an electrical connection with a pacing system.
