5 results about "Transcatheter aortic" patented technology

A delivery system for delivering a prosthetic valve in a compressed condition over an inner shaft of a catheter. The delivery system includes a tip extending distally from the inner shaft. The tip has a proximal section and an opposite distal section extending to an end of the tip. The proximal section is configured to support an end of the prosthetic valve during loading and delivery of the prosthetic heart valve and includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. The first portion is adjacent the distal section. The second portion is between the first portion and third portion. The third portion is adjacent a proximal end of the tip. An outer diameter of the first portion is greater than an outer diameter of the inner shaft, an outer diameter of the second portion, and an outer diameter of the third portion.

Systems and methods for evaluating a proposed valve-in-valve procedure for a patient in which a replacement transcatheter aortic valve will be deployed within a first bioprosthetic aortic valve. The methods include selecting predetermined benchmark measurements of a valve-in-valve combination. Images of anatomy of the patient are received. Anatomical measurements of the first bioprosthetic valve are obtained from the received images. The predetermined benchmark measurements and the anatomical measurements are reviewed. Based, at least in part, upon the review, risks of a valve-in-valve procedure for the patient are evaluated. The methods of the present disclosure can be used on baseline scans of a patient without a first bioprosthetic valve implanted; under these circumstances, dimensions of the first valve are determined by benchmark measurements. Where methods of the present disclosure are used on post-first implant scans, then the dimensions of the first valve are determined from the post-implant scans.

A system for implanting two or more implants into a heart of a patient may include a multi-device steerable guide catheter ("MDSGC"), a transcatheter edge-to-edge repair ("TEER") implant delivery device, and an additional implant delivery device for implanting an additional medical device. The additional medical device may be a collapsible and expandable prosthetic transcatheter aortic valve repair ("TAVR") device or a collapsible and expandable left atrial appendage ("LAA") occluder device. The MDSGC may have a first handle and may be steerable, the TEER delivery device may have a second handle, and the additional delivery device may have an additional handle. The system may include a fixation device to capture native heart valve leaflets therebetween as part of a TEER procedure. The TEER delivery device and the additional delivery device may each have a catheter sized and shaped to pass through an interior of a catheter of the MDSGC.

This invention provides an intelligent image measurement and navigation method and system for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), relating to the field of medical auxiliary diagnosis. Utilizing a dual-temporal collaborative repair strategy, it can use the texture information of clear temporal phases to complete the anatomical details of blurred temporal phases, obtaining complete anatomical boundaries even under imperfect cross-sections. This significantly reduces the time and frequency of physical probe adjustments during surgery, lowering the reliance on the operational skills of anesthesiologists or sonographers. Through cascaded positioning with anatomical region locking, and using a probability field strength prior forced algorithm to focus on high-probability anatomical structures, it shields background noise that is easily interfered with by the human eye, ensuring the objectivity and consistency of measurement results. This allows less experienced surgeons to achieve measurement accuracy consistent with senior experts, providing standardized data support for valve model selection. It can intelligently filter out motion interference, ensuring the safety of intraoperative navigation, and its sub-pixel accuracy meets the requirements of refined TAVR surgery.

Inflatable medical devices and methods for making and using the same are disclosed. The devices can be medical invasive balloons, such as those used for transcutaneous heart valve implantation, such as balloons used for transcatheter aortic-valve implantation. The balloons can have high strength, fiber-reinforced walls.
