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: Solutions for reducing irritation and/or trauma which may result upon contact of an implanted implantable device with tissue surrounding or adjacent to the implantable device. Various embodiments include features which allow a tangential or otherwise atraumatic contact of the implantable device with the tissue, in contrast with a sharper contact which may occur with prior art implantable devices. The broad principles are applicable to annuloplasty devices, and have other broader applications as well.

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 implant for occluding a left atrial appendage may include an expandable framework configured to shift between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. The expandable framework may include a plurality of interconnected struts and a plurality of anchor members extending radially outward from the plurality of interconnected struts in the expanded configuration. Each anchor member of the plurality of anchor members may include a base portion fixedly attached to the plurality of interconnected struts and an anchor tip portion. The anchor tip portion may include a central penetrating element and at least one tissue support element extending outward from the central penetrating element. The at least one tissue support element may be configured to be non-penetrating.

Abstract: A medical implant for occluding a left atrial appendage may include an expandable framework configured to shift radially between a first configuration and a second configuration, and an occlusive element secured to the expandable framework. The framework includes a plurality of strut groups, each strut group comprising first and second joints, and first, second, and third struts. The first and second struts move laterally from a first position in the first configuration to a second position in the second configuration. The third strut is configured to shift radially from a first position in the first configuration to a second position in the second configuration. The first and second struts and a majority of the third struts of each strut group may be oriented parallel to each other in the first configuration and nonparallel to each other in the second configuration.
