    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices and methods for heart assist pumps that are implanted using minimally-invasive techniques and that operate by generating a dynamic magnetic field outside of the body to cause a rotor of the heart assist pump to rotate and enhance blood flow through the pump. The disclosed systems, methods, and devices can be utilized in conjunction with a minimally-invasive operation to anchor a micro-pump device at a targeted location within the heart. The pump can be wholly located within the heart without any wires or cannulas penetrating the heart or the body of the patient. Use of this pump as a ventricular assist device can advantageously reduce recovery time, reduce complications, and potentially provide a solution for non-operable patients.

    Abstract: A device is in various embodiments configured to repair a native heart valve or to secure a prosthetic heart valve within a native valve of the heart of a patient. Embodiments of the device include at least an upper coil and a lower coil, where the device is configured to assume an axially expanded state where the entire upper coil is positioned on a first side of the lower coil relative to the central axis, and an axially compressed state where at least a portion of the upper coil is positioned on a second side of at least a portion of the lower coil opposite to the first side relative to the central axis.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a balloon shaped to have one or more enlarged regions to selectively increase expansion forces on an implant. For example, the balloon may have a central portion that is enlarged to exert more force on the center of a stent-mounted prosthetic heart valve. This overcomes the stent-mounted prosthetic heart valve's tendency to expand with flared ends. This forms a more cylindrical or barrel shaped stent frame during expansion of the balloon—reducing or eliminating the instance wherein the cylindrical stent frame has flared ends. Alternatively, the balloon may have conical flares placed to cause or enhance flared ends of the cylindrical implant to enhance its anchoring capabilities.

    Abstract: A device for crimping a radially expandable and collapsible prosthetic valve comprises a coiled wire frame having a longitudinal opening extending from a proximal end to a distal end thereof. The opening has a first state and a second state, the opening in the first state having a first diameter dimensioned to receive the prosthetic valve in an expanded or partially crimped configuration therein, and the opening in the second state having a second diameter dimensioned to receive the prosthetic valve in a crimped configuration. The coiled wire frame has a first end coupled to a first member and a second end coupled to a second member. The first member is movable relative to the second member to convert the coiled wire frame from the first state to the second state.

    Abstract: An exemplary system for crimping a prosthetic valve comprises a radially expandable and compressible prosthetic valve, a crimping device positioned around the valve and configured to reduce the diameter of the valve to a delivery configuration, and a sterile package enclosing the valve and the crimping device. The valve can be pre-assembled in a partially crimped configuration within the crimping device. After removing the sterile packaging, the crimping device can be used to crimp the valve from the partially crimped configuration to the delivery configuration, such as by twisting a knob on the crimping device. The system can further comprise at least a portion of a delivery catheter within the sterile package, wherein the valve is pre-mounted on or adjacent to an inflatable balloon of the delivery catheter, such that the valve can be crimped onto the delivery catheter using the crimping device.

    Abstract: Prosthetic valves that include support arms extending from support posts thereof, and methods for utilizing such prosthetic valves, are disclosed herein. As one example, a prosthetic valve can include an annular frame movable between a radially compressed state and a radially expanded state, and at least one support arm. The frame can include a plurality of support posts, each extending between a post inflow end and an opposite post outflow end. The support arm can extend from a corresponding support post, and terminate at a free-ended tip which is biased radially away from the corresponding support post.
