AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Current transcatheter mitral valve technologies face challenges in conforming to the complex anatomical shape of the mitral valve, leading to issues such as para-valvular leaks, distortion of the mitral valve plane, and potential tissue disruption due to asymmetrical anchoring pressures.
Method used
A disk-based valve apparatus with self-positioning, self-centering, and self-anchoring features, comprising multiple disks with varying shapes and configurations, allows for secure anchoring and alignment with the mitral valve geometry, maintaining the physiologic inflow plane.
Benefits of technology
The solution provides improved anchoring and alignment, reducing para-valvular leaks and tissue disruption, while allowing repositioning and retrieval of the implantable valve.
