Embodiment Construction

[0024] Headings are provided herein for convenience only and do not necessarily affect the scope or meaning of the claimed invention.

[0025] Heart failure is a common and potentially fatal condition affecting humans, and despite maximal medical treatment, suboptimal clinical outcomes often lead to symptoms, morbidity and / or death. Specifically, "diastolic heart failure" refers to the clinical syndrome of heart failure that occurs with preserved left ventricular systolic function (ejection fraction) and in the absence of major valvular disease. This condition is characterized by left ventricular stiffness with decreased compliance and impaired relaxation, resulting in increased end-diastolic pressure. About one-third of heart failure patients have diastolic heart failure, and few, if any, proven treatments exist.

[0026] Symptoms of diastolic heart failure are at least in part due to elevated pressure in the left atrium. Elevated left atrial pressure (LAP) is present in se...

Abstract

A method includes rolling up a medical implant to reduce a profile of the medical implant. The medical implant includes a first end and a second end. The method further includes inserting the medical implant into a catheter, delivering the catheter to a treatment site within a human body, and removing the medical implant from the catheter.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 902,797, filed September 19, 2019, entitled LOW-STRESS COMPRESSIBLE IMPLANTS, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to the field of medical devices and procedures. Background technique [0004] In percutaneous delivery systems used to deliver certain medical implant devices at least partially through a patient's vasculature to a target site, certain anatomical structures and device sizes may limit the use of such systems to deliver medical implants. The size, shape and / or configuration of the entry device.
