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. A dual-wireform support frame including an upper and a lower wireform permits expansion of the valve by one or two valve sizes, for example, with a 2-mm gap between each valve size. The lower wireform has a relatively shallow undulation so that it may stretch apart by a small amount and then prevent further expansion of the valve.

Abstract: Systems, devices, kits, and methods are described for securing a bioprosthetic heart valve within an anatomical feature of a patient. Kits can comprise a bioprosthetic heart valve, a curable composition, and an applicator configured to deliver the curable composition to a target area. The bioprosthetic heart valve can comprise a support structure and one or more valve leaflets coupled thereto. The support structure can comprise a sewing portion peripheral of the bioprosthetic heart valve. The support structure and the valve leaflets can define a central flow orifice. The curable composition can comprise a pre-polymer composition and an initiator. Methods can comprise positioning the bioprosthetic heart valve within the anatomical feature of a patient, applying the curable composition to one or both of the bioprosthetic heart valve and the anatomical feature, and curing the curable composition for a cure time. The applying can be performed before or after the positioning.

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: An annuloplasty band having a differentiation in area moment of inertia, where the area moment of inertia in the out of plane direction is much less than the area moment of inertia in the plane of the annulus. This makes the band stiff enough to hold the annulus in the correct shape while being flexible enough out of plane to minimize the risk of suture dehiscence or breakage. One example is a C-shaped band with a core formed of nitinol and having a constant cross-section with a wider radial dimension than an axial dimension. The cross-section may be rectangular. The band is asymmetric across a minor axis with one end extending around the anterior side farther than the other. The free ends rise up from adjacent lateral sides, and a continuous posterior mid-section also rises upward.

The metal frame has a bond layer coating at least a portion of the external surface and a coating layer disposed on at least a portion of the bond layer. The bond layer comprises a metal selected from the group consisting of: chromium, titanium, zirconium, aluminum, platinum, palladium, and niobium. The coating layer is selected from the group consisting of: a metal nitride, a metal oxide, a metal carbide, and combinations thereof. The coating layer may have a thickness of about 10 μm or less and a grain size of about 10 nm to about 15 nm, and may be characterized as polycrystalline with randomly-oriented grains with both cubic and orthorhombic phases. In one embodiment, the bond layer comprises chromium and the coating layer comprises chromium nitride.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods disclosed herein may be directed to clips for medical implementation, including clips for a portion of a heart. The clips may be configured to close the portion of the heart, to reduce blood flow therethrough as well as passage of clots or other undesired materials. In examples, the clips may be configured to close the left atrial appendage (LAA). The closure of the LAA may reduce the possibility of stroke or other maladies stemming from fluid flow with the LAA. In examples, the clips may be positioned exterior of the LAA, to extend over an outer surface of the LAA for closure.

Abstract: A mitral repair annuloplasty ring that will accommodate implantation of a transcatheter valve therein for a valve-in-ring reoperation. The ring has a semi-rigid core with features that allow the ring to better conform to the cylindrical geometry of a transcatheter valve when implanted. The inner core defines a continuous peripheral D-shape with a substantially straight anterior side diametrically across from a more rounded posterior side with arcuate lateral sides therebetween. Segments of the ring core are subject to differing rates of bending due to variable radial thicknesses or radial slits opening to both inner and outer edges around the core periphery. One or more expansion joints may also be used to create the more circular final expanded shape. A plastically expandable sealing sleeve may surround the transcatheter valve for sealing gaps between the valve and annuloplasty ring.
