    Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve configured to replace a native heart valve and for post-implant expansion and having a valve-type indicator thereon visible from outside the body post-implant. The indicator communicates information about the valve, such as the size or orifice diameter of the valve, and/or that the valve has the capacity for post-implant expansion. The indicator can be an alphanumeric symbol or other symbol or combination of symbols that represent information about the characteristics of the valve such as the valve size. The capacity for post-implant expansion facilitates a valve-in-valve procedure, where the valve-type indicator conveys information to the surgeon about whether the implanted valve is suitable for the procedure and informs the choice of the secondary valve.

    Abstract: A packaging assembly for storing a bioprosthetic heart valve is disclosed. The packaging assembly can include a sub-assembly comprising a valve holder configured to hold the bioprosthetic heart valve, and a clip configured to receive a shaft of the valve holder. The clip can comprise a body having an outer periphery and opposing inner edges. The opposing inner edges can define a slot in the body for receiving the shaft of the valve holder. The slot can be open at a first end of the body and extend, along a longitudinal axis of the body, from the first end to a docking aperture. The clip can further comprise a compliance feature in an interference-fit area of the slot adjacent to the docking aperture. The compliance feature can comprise a cutout adjacent to each of the opposing inner edges such that each of the opposing inner edges defines a beam within the interference-fit area.

    Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve configured to replace a native heart valve and having a support frame configured to be reshaped into an expanded form in order to receive and/or support an expandable prosthetic heart valve therein is disclosed, together with methods of using same. The prosthetic heart valve may be configured to have a generally rigid and/or expansion-resistant configuration when initially implanted to replace a native valve (or other prosthetic heart valve), but to assume a generally expanded form when subjected to an outward force such as that provided by a dilation balloon or other mechanical expander. An inflow stent frame is expandable for anchoring the valve in place, and may have an outflow end that is collapsible to a limited degree for delivery and expandable post-implant to facilitate a valve-in-valve (ViV) procedure. The hybrid heart valves eliminate earlier structural bands, which both reduces manufacturing time and facilitates a ViV procedure.
