Abstract: Blood stagnation within a left atrial appendage (LAA) may be reduced by creating movement within the LAA. A variety of different actuatable devices, including magnetically actuated devices, may be implanted within the LAA. The actuatable device may be caused to become actuated, thereby causing the motion within the LAA. In some cases, causing the actuatable device to become actuated may include application of a magnetic field. In some cases, causing the actuatable device to become actuated may include subjecting the actuatable device to blood flow within the LAA.

Abstract: An implantable medical device includes an expandable frame that is expandable between a collapsed configuration for delivery and an expanded configuration for deployment, the expandable frame including a periphery defined by the expandable frame. A covering spans at least part of the expandable frame. An expandable element is secured relative to the periphery, the expandable element is adapted to seal against an irregular body opening such as an irregular-shaped ostium of a patient's LAA (left atrial appendage).

Abstract: An implantable medical device such as but not limited to a left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) device includes an expandable frame that is movable between a collapsed configuration for delivery and an expanded configuration for deployment. The expandable frame may include a plurality of articulating members that are biased into the expanded configuration. The expandable frame may include a biasing member. The LAAC device includes a membrane or covering that spans across an end of the expandable frame.

Abstract: A medical device for causing blood flow within a left atrial appendage (LAA) includes a flow energy capture element adapted to capture energy caused by movement within the heart. A transmission element is operably coupled to the flow energy capture element, the transmission element adapted to utilize the captured energy to cause blood flow within the LAA.

Abstract: Implanting a left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) device within a patient's left atrial appendage (LAA) may include advancing an assembly to a position proximate the patient's LAA. The assembly includes an LAAC device releasably secured to an LAAC delivery catheter, and one or more ultrasound transducers disposed relative to the LAAC delivery catheter. Once the LAAC device is deployed, the ultrasound transducers may be rotated relative to the LAAC device to look for leaks between the LAAC device and the LAA. In some cases, the LAAC device may be repositioned relative to the LAA when excessive leaks are found via ultrasound.

The expandable frame may include a plurality of articulating members that are biased into the expanded configuration. The expandable frame may include a biasing member. The LAAC device includes a membrane or covering that spans across an end of the expandable frame. In some cases, the LAAC device may be adjustable to better fit a non-circular ostium.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for delivering various implantable devices, such as heart valve implants, with the use of a steerable imaging element are described. An imaging element is positioned adjacent the implantable device and implant site, a relationship between the implantable device and the implant site is visualized and/or imaged, and the implantable device is anchored and/or adjusted with reference to the visualization and/or imaging thereof.
