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


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240307695 titled 'GUIDEWIRE FOR PACING DURING REPLACEMENT HEART VALVE DELIVERY

'''Simplified Explanation''': This patent application describes a guidewire that can be used to deliver and implant a replacement heart valve implant, as well as pace 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 implantation.
* Includes electrodes for pacing the heart.
* Proximal section provides electrical connection with a pacing system.

'''Potential Applications''':
* Cardiac surgery procedures.
* Heart valve replacement surgeries.
* Pacing the heart during medical procedures.

'''Problems Solved''':
* Facilitates the precise delivery and implantation of replacement heart valves.
* Allows for pacing of the heart during procedures, ensuring patient safety and stability.

'''Benefits''':
* Improved accuracy and efficiency in heart valve implantation.
* Enhanced patient safety during procedures.
* Streamlined process for medical professionals.

'''Commercial Applications''':
* Medical device manufacturing companies.
* Hospitals and surgical centers.
* Cardiac care facilities.

'''Prior Art''''':
Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on guidewires for cardiac procedures, heart valve implants, and pacing systems in medical devices.

'''Frequently Updated Research''':
Stay updated on advancements in guidewire technology for cardiac procedures, heart valve implants, and pacing systems in medical devices.

'''Questions about Heart Valve Replacement Guidewire''':
1. How does the guidewire improve the accuracy of heart valve implantation procedures?
2. What are the potential risks associated with using a guidewire for pacing the heart during surgery?


==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.
