Abstract: A storage jar assembly for use with a prosthetic heart valve is disclosed in several embodiments. As one example, a storage jar assembly can include a jar having an open end and configured to receive a prosthetic heart valve. The embodiment also includes a lid configured to cover the open end of the jar. The lid can include a plurality of valve attachment features configured to be releasably attached to corresponding features of the prosthetic heart valve.

Abstract: Valve repair devices and systems configured to detect proper valve leaflet insertion. The device/system can have a pair of paddles and a clasp attached to each of the paddles. The clasps can have a fixed arm attached to the paddle, a movable arm connected to the fixed arm that is movable between an open position and a closed position. The device can have an indicator that can move between not engaged by a leaflet and engaged by a leaflet conditions to indicate capture of a leaflet of the native valve. The indicator can be compressible. The indicator can be flattenable. The indicator can include one or more marker.

Abstract: A minimally-invasive annuloplasty ring for implant at a mitral annulus. The annuloplasty ring has an inner core member with a C-shaped plan view that generally defines an oval with a major axis and a minor axis, and is symmetric about the minor axis. A posterior portion of the core member bisected by the minor axis has a thicker radial dimension than a pair of free end regions terminating on an anterior side of the core member. The radial thickness smoothly transitions between the posterior portion and the end regions. The inner core member may be covered with a fabric, and is a superelastic metal so that it can be straightened out and delivered through an access tube. The curvatures and thicknesses around the core member are selected so that the strain experienced when straightened does not exceed 7-8%.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a prosthetic heart valve, and associated methods therefore, 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. The prosthetic heart valve is configured to have an 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.
