Abstract: Balloon catheters for delivery of prosthetic hear valves are provided. The balloon catheters are configured to deploy a prosthetic heart valve through inflation. The balloon catheters are further configured with one or more retention bumpers to reduce or prevent migration of the prosthetic heart valve during delivery. Balloon catheters described herein are configured with substantially incompressible retention bumpers that promote longitudinal inflation fluid flow.

Abstract: A catheter includes a handle with torqueing and steering mechanisms. The torqueing mechanism includes a rotatable nosecone and a bearing coupled to the nosecone to be rotatable therewith. The bearing is concentrically disposed over a shaft of the catheter. The steering mechanism includes a rack coupled to the bearing to be slideable therewith and a pull wire having a proximal end attached to the bearing and a distal end attached to a distal portion of the shaft. Rotation of the nosecone causes an entire length of the shaft to rotate and axial movement of the rack tensions the pull wire to bend the distal portion of the shaft. A valve relief component is slidingly disposed over the shaft and is configured to dock onto the handle when not in use.

Abstract: A crimper for altering an implantable medical device from an uncompressed state to a compressed state. The crimper includes a plurality of crimper elements that define a crimper channel, each of the crimper elements including a non-planar surface that forms a portion of the crimper channel. Each non-planar surface is configured to apply non-uniform radial compression along a length of the implantable medical device during operation of the crimper when altering the implantable medical device from the uncompressed state to the compressed state. The crimper also includes handle configured to operate the crimper. Actuation of the handle decreases a volume of the crimper chamber to transition the implantable medical device from the uncompressed state to the compressed state.

Abstract: A catheter based balloon enabled prosthetic heart valve delivery device is provided. The balloon enabled delivery device is configured to deploy a prosthetic heart valve through inflation. The balloon enabled delivery device is further configured to reduce or prevent migration of the prosthetic heart valve during deployment. Migration is prevented through a combination of balanced inflation of the balloon, inflation fluid flow balancing structures, retention rings, retention covers, and balloon surface treatments.
