Abstract:
A valve replacement implant may include an expandable anchor member having a proximal end and a distal end, the anchor member being actuatable between a delivery configuration and a deployed configuration. A plurality of locking mechanisms may be configured to secure the anchor member in the deployed configuration. Each locking mechanism may include an axially movable post including a leg portion extending inwardly therefrom, and a receiving portion fixed to the anchor member, the receiving portion being configured to slidably receive the post. A plurality of valve leaflets may be disposed within a central lumen of the anchor member, the plurality of valve leaflets being secured to the leg portions of the plurality of locking mechanisms. The plurality of locking mechanisms may be releasably attached to a delivery device.
