Embodiment Construction

[0075] The following description and drawings, which describe and illustrate certain embodiments, are intended to suggest, in a non-limiting manner, several possible configurations of systems, apparatuses, devices, assemblies, methods, etc. that can be used with the various aspects and features of the present disclosure. As one example, various systems, devices / devices, assemblies, methods, etc. described herein may relate to mitral valve procedures. However, the specific examples provided are not intended to be limiting, eg, the systems, devices / devices, assemblies, methods, etc. may be applicable to valves other than the mitral valve (eg, for use in the tricuspid valve).

[0076]Described herein are embodiments of deployment tools intended to facilitate implantation of a prosthetic device (e.g., a prosthetic valve) in one of the native mitral, aortic, tricuspid, or pulmonary valve regions of a human heart, and Ways to use the deployment tool. The prosthetic device or valve ...

Abstract

A delivery catheter is in various embodiments configured to deliver an anchoring device to a native valve annulus of a patient' s heart, where the anchoring device can better secure a prosthesis at the native annulus. The delivery catheter can includes a distal section that includes one or more spines or is laser cut to assume a particular shape for better facilitating delivery of the anchoring device at the implant site and can include a flexible tube, a first pull wire, and a second pull wire. The flexible tube can comprise a bore extending between the first end and the second end sized forpassing the anchoring device therethrough. The distal portion can comprise a first flexing section and a second flexing section. Actuation of the first pull wire and the second pull wire can cause theflexible tube to move from a first configuration to a second configuration.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 435,563, entitled "DEPLOYMENT TOOLS AND METHODS FORDELIVERING AN ANCHORING DEVICE FOR A PROSTHETIC VALVE AT A NATIVE VALVEANNULUS," filed December 16, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety . technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to deployment tools for delivering anchoring devices, such as prostheses docking devices that support prostheses, and methods of use thereof. For example, the present disclosure relates to the replacement of malformed and / or dysfunctional heart valves, wherein an anchoring device supporting a prosthetic heart valve is deployed at the implantation site using a flexible delivery catheter, and such anchors are implanted using the delivery catheter A method of specifying a device and / or a prosthetic heart valve. Background technique [0004] Referring generally to FIGS. 1A-1B ...
