Appl. No.:

13/485358

Inventors:

Assignee:

EDWARDS LIFESCIENCES CORPORATION - Irvine CA

International Classification:

A61F 2/24

US Classification:

623 126

Abstract:

A medical device for treating aortic insufficiency (and associated aneurysms or defects of any other vessel associated with a valve) includes a support structure, a stent, a prosthetic valve and a deflector. Generally, the support structure is configured to cooperate with the prosthetic valve to pinch the native valve therebetween and provide an anchor for the stent which extends into the aorta and supports the deflector which is positioned to abate blood flow against the aneurysm.

US Classification:

623 111, 623 211

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are representative embodiments of methods, apparatus, and systems used to deliver a prosthetic heart valve to a deficient valve. In one embodiment, for instance, a support structure and an expandable prosthetic valve are advanced through the aortic arch of a patient using a delivery system. The support structure is delivered to a position on or adjacent to the surface of the outflow side of the aortic valve (the support structure defining a support-structure interior). The expandable prosthetic valve is delivered into the aortic valve and into the support-structure interior. The expandable prosthetic heart valve is expanded while the expandable prosthetic heart valve is in the support-structure interior and while the support structure is at the position on or adjacent to the surface of the outflow side of the aortic valve, thereby causing one or more native leaflets of the aortic valve to be frictionally secured between the support structure and the expanded prosthetic heart valve.

Abstract:

Several embodiments of a catheter are described, having a balloon configured to slowly inflate and then quickly deflate to create an area of low pressure in the vessels. The balloon can be cycled near the vessels of the kidneys, thereby helping to draw out blood from the kidneys and enhance fluid processing to the bladder.

International Classification:

B21D 39/04
A61F 2/95

Abstract:

Embodiments of a crimping device for crimping a radially expandable and compressible prosthetic valve are disclosed. A crimping device can comprise a housing configured to receive a prosthetic valve in a radially expanded state. The housing member can include a funnel segment and an outlet in communication with the funnel segment. The crimping device can further comprise an actuator rotatably coupled to the housing, wherein rotation of the actuator relative to the housing causes the prosthetic valve to move axially through the funnel segment such that at least a portion of the prosthetic valve compresses radially by engagement with the funnel segment and exits the crimping device via the outlet.

International Classification:

A61B 10/02
A61B 10/04

Abstract:

Low profile biopsy tools and methods that allow relatively large biopsy samples to be taken. The biopsy tools have a first configuration that allows for atraumatic navigation to a targeted lesion, and a second configuration in which a distal end of the biopsy tool expands to take a large tissue sample. The tissue sample may then be retracted into a sheath or other containment feature and removed at a reduced diameter. Also included is an anchored guidewire usable to practice method for navigating a biopsy tool to a targeted lesion after an endoscope has been removed.
