Heart Valves TRIZ Cases
- Helical Mitral Valve Anchor for Secure Placement and Leak Sealing
An expansible helical anchor secures a mitral valve prosthesis, adapts to annulus size variation, and helps prevent paravalvular leaks.
- Hydrophilic Valve Skirt Swelling for Paravalvular Leak Sealing
A blood-swelling hydrophilic skirt improves prosthetic heart valve apposition to irregular tissue and helps mitigate paravalvular leakage.
- Wet-Stored Heart Valve Packaging With Multi-Position Sterile Seals
Multiple seal positions and liquid-gas sterilization keep a wet-stored prosthetic heart valve moist while sterilizing hard-to-reach seal areas.
- Heart Valve Delivery Capsule Retraction for Precise Centering
A collapsible capsule retracts into an outer stability shaft to shorten lever-arm steering error and improve prosthetic valve positioning.
- Dry Heart Valve Packaging with Dual Sterile Oxidation Barriers
A dual sterile barrier lets gas sterilization reach dry heart valves while blocking oxygen to prevent oxidation and structural damage in storage.
- Prosthetic Heart Valve Frame With Protrusion Arms for Coronary Clearance
Outward protrusion arms reposition lacerated valve leaflets during implantation to keep coronary arteries clear and improve placement safety.
- Steerable Leaflet Augmentation Implant for Mitral Regurgitation
A steerable catheter deploys a leaflet-augmenting implant to close the regurgitant gap while preserving diastolic inflow and native valve dynamics.
- Embolic Filter Frame for Valve Procedures With Ongoing Blood Flow
A U-shaped filter frame captures valve-procedure debris while maintaining blood flow and improving catheter maneuverability.
- Tricuspid Prosthetic Valve Anchoring for Small-Catheter Delivery
Overlapping flaps and anchoring arms improve tricuspid valve sealing and migration resistance while enabling smaller catheter delivery.
- Helical Valve Docking Coil With Clasp for Mitral THV Anchoring
A helical coil and movable clasp create a stable mitral THV anchor, improving sealing and reducing paravalvular leakage.
- Single-Tube Heart Pump Pressurization for Minimally Invasive Access
A valve-controlled single pressure tube replaces multiple heart pump lines, freeing surgical workspace while maintaining suction and inflation control.
- Prosthetic Heart Valve With Detachable Skirt for Annular Sealing
A removable skirt around the sewing cuff improves annular sealing in calcified mitral or aortic valve implantation and helps limit paravalvular leaks.
- Self-Actuating Valve Sealing Structure for Paravalvular Leak Reduction
Elastic sealing legs relax after deployment to fill annulus gaps, improving prosthetic valve anchoring and reducing paravalvular leakage.
- Folded Double-Wall Mitral Valve Stent for Sealing and Anchoring
A folded unibody double-wall stent separates sealing from valve support geometry to improve mitral anchoring and transcatheter delivery.
- Prosthetic Heart Valve Re-Collapse Using Tensioned Ventricular Strands
Tensioned strands through ventricular suture rings let a partially deployed prosthetic heart valve re-collapse for repositioning or removal.
