Visible markings on prosthetic heart valve frames guide accurate orientation during minimally invasive implantation.
A wire and anchor assembly exerts radial force to compress the mitral valve annulus.
Segmented annuloplasty devices use interlocking teeth and pawls to cinch tissue via a pull wire, preventing ring migration during post-procedural dilation.
Anchoring to the ventricular wall, a subvalvular support device holds a tethered valve leaflet to restore coaptation without removing tissue.
A ring-shaped device translocates the native mitral valve toward the heart apex to restore coaptation geometry.
Control wires expand flexible segments of an annuloplasty structure to fit variable annulus sizes without pre-measurement.
Deployable pressing elements deform an adjustable annuloplasty ring to customize shape and size, reducing residual regurgitation risk.
An insert member creates a tight seal between valve leaflets to prevent regurgitation without open-heart surgery.
Transcatheter delivery system replaces open-heart surgery risks by reshaping the mitral valve annulus via expanding helical anchors.
Segmented rigid and flexible portions accommodate unique mitral valve anatomy, resolving the trade-off between structural support and leaflet motion.
A fatigue testing device applies cyclic loads to annuloplasty rings using a cam mechanism that transforms rotary motion into linear reciprocating force.
A prosthetic mitral valve uses a self-expanding anchor to secure the device within the heart.
An adjustable heart valve device uses a dynamic mechanism to alter ring and elongate member dimensions, preventing recurring ventricular remodeling.
Connecting struts bulge into the valsalva sinus to secure anchoring while avoiding coronary artery occlusion.
A prosthetic heart valve with a single leaflet and collapsible anchoring structure.
A flexible elongate displacement unit modifies mitral valve annulus shape via a reversibly expandable proximal portion and distal anchoring segment.
Rotatable anchors embed into tissue to draw the annulus into a concavity, reducing regurgitation and minimizing device migration.
An elliptical intra-annular mounting frame with flaring posts supports aortic valve cusps.
A transfemoral device deploys pivotally connected arms to anchor a reinforcement ring on the mitral valve.
