PROSTHETIC HEART VALVE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240008984 titled 'PROSTHETIC HEART VALVE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application relates to prosthetic valves and methods for deploying, positioning, and recapturing them. The prosthetic valve includes support structures and an elongate central passageway. It also has leaflet elements for controlling fluid flow. The support structures are designed to fix the prosthetic valve within a native valve, such as a native tricuspid valve of a heart.

  • The patent application is about prosthetic valves and their deployment, positioning, and recapturing.
  • The prosthetic valve has support structures and an elongate central passageway.
  • Leaflet elements are attached to the support structures and control fluid flow.
  • The support structures are biodynamically configured to fix the prosthetic valve within a native valve.
  • The native valve can be a tricuspid valve of a heart.

Potential Applications

  • Cardiac surgery
  • Treatment of heart valve diseases
  • Minimally invasive procedures

Problems Solved

  • Inefficient deployment and positioning of prosthetic valves
  • Limited control of fluid flow through the valve
  • Difficulty in fixing the prosthetic valve within a native valve

Benefits

  • Improved accuracy and precision in deploying and positioning prosthetic valves
  • Enhanced control of fluid flow through the valve
  • Secure fixation of the prosthetic valve within a native valve


Original Abstract Submitted

this disclosure relates generally to prosthetic valves and methods and systems for deploying, positioning, and recapturing the same. a prosthetic valve includes one or more support structures. at least one of the one or more support structures defines an elongate central passageway of the prosthetic valve. the prosthetic valve can also include a plurality of leaflet elements attached to at least one of the one or more support structures and disposed within the elongate central passageway for control of fluid flow through the elongate central passageway. at least one of the one or more support structures is configured to biodynamically fix the prosthetic valve within a native valve such as, for example, a native tricuspid valve of a heart.
