Abstract: A transcatheter heart valve implant apparatus includes a frame extending along a frame axis and radially expandable between a first position and a second position. The frame includes a wire extending circumferentially around the frame axis to define a lumen. The wire includes a first peak portion including a first amplitude measured from a plane perpendicular to the frame axis, a second peak portion including a second amplitude measured from the plane, and a valley portion attaching the first peak portion and the second peak portion. The first amplitude is different than the second amplitude, and the first peak portion and the second peak portion are positioned on a first side of the plane and the valley portion is positioned on an opposing second side of the plane. A cover extends along the frame axis and covers an outer radial side of the wire opposite the lumen.

Abstract: A balloon catheter configured for delivery of a prosthetic heart valve is provided. The balloon catheter is configured to deploy a prosthetic heart valve through inflation. The balloon catheter is provided with a reinforcing member configured to increase the rigidity of the balloon catheter over an operational portion of the device. The increased rigidity serves to prevent damage to an introducer sheath, patient anatomy, or the prosthetic heart valve during delivery of the prosthetic heart valve.
