Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve has a frame and a valvular structure coupled thereto. The valvular structure has multiple leaflets, with paired tabs from the leaflets forming commissure tab assemblies that couple the valvular structure to the frame. The frame is tapered with its inflow end diameter being smaller than its outflow end diameter. The valvular structure is constructed such that a flow channel formed by the leaflets is also tapered, with the inlet end cross-section being smaller than the outlet end cross-section. The commissure tab assemblies are attached to the frame with leaflet bending axes at or adjacent to the radially-inner surface of the frame. During systole, separation of blood flow induced by the tapered geometry of the flow channel generates an annular back flow region adjacent to the inner surface of the valve at the outflow end, which prevents the free edge of the leaflets from contacting the frame.

Abstract: An implantable prosthetic device can include a frame that is radially expandable and compressible between a radially compressed configuration and a radially expanded configuration. The frame can have a first set of a plurality of struts extending in a first direction, and a second set of a plurality of struts extending in a second direction, and each strut of the first set of struts can be pivotably connected to at least one strut of the second set of struts. Each strut can be curved helically with respect to a first, longitudinal axis of the frame, and each strut can be curved with respect to a second axis that is perpendicular to the first, longitudinal axis of the frame.

Abstract: An assembly can comprise a prosthetic valve comprising a radially expandable and compressible frame and a rotatable screw connected to the frame, where the screw comprises a screw head having an annular bore with internal threads, and where the screw is rotatable to radially expand the frame. The assembly further comprises a delivery apparatus releasably coupled to the screw, the delivery apparatus comprising a first shaft and a first head disposed at an end of the first shaft, the first head comprising external threads configured to engage with the internal threads of the screw head, and a second shaft that is coaxial with and surrounds the first shaft, the second shaft comprising a second head disposed at an end of the second shaft. The second head is configured to releasably engage with an exterior surface of the screw head and rotate the screw.

Abstract: An implantable prosthetic device comprises a frame comprising a first set of first struts and a second set of second struts. The first struts are pivotably connected to each other at a plurality of distal and proximal apices at distal and proximal ends of the frame. The second struts are pivotably connected to each other at a plurality of distal and proximal apices at the distal and proximal ends of the frame. The first struts have a first thickness, and the second struts have a second thickness, wherein the first thickness is greater than the second thickness. One or more actuators are coupled only to one or more corresponding pairs of a distal apex and a proximal apex formed by the first struts, wherein the one or more actuators are configured to apply axially directed forces to the frame to radially expand the frame.
