摘要:
A personalized prosthesis for implantation at a treatment site of a patient includes a self-expanding mesh or membrane having collapsed and expanded configurations. The collapsed configuration is adapted to be delivered to the treatment site, and the expanded configuration engages the personalized prosthesis with the treatment site. The mesh or membrane is personalized to match the treatment site in the expanded configuration, and has an outer surface that substantially matches the treatment site shape and size. The self-expanding mesh or membrane forms a central lumen configured to allow blood or other body fluids to flow therethrough. Methods of manufacturing and delivery of the personalized prosthesis are also disclosed.
摘要:
A prosthetic device for replacing a deficient native aortic valve is disclosed, comprising: - a collapsible and expandable support stent formed of a shape memory alloy, - the support stent comprising a proximal stent portion (310) configured to expand to a first diameter and - an distal stent portion (320) configured to expand to a second diameter, the first diameter being smaller than the second diameter for preventing deformation of the mitral valve by over expansion and for providing a difference between the support stent and the openings of the coronary arteries; and - a collapsible and expandable valve assembly formed of natural tissue, whereby the valve assembly is attached to the support stent circumferentially along an inlet and sutured to the support stent along commissures for supporting the valve leaflets; wherein the first diameter of the support stent is sized for engagement with leaflets of the native aortic valve and the second diameter of the support stent is sized for engagement with the inner wall of the ascending aorta and wherein the stent is sized to avoid a contact with the inner wall of a left ventricle when implanted.
