Valve Prosthesis

Patent No. EP2496182 (titled "Valve Prosthesis") was filed by Majoro Cardiac Innovations on Nov 5, 2010. The application was issued on Jun 21, 2023.

Patent Summary

A percutaneous mitral valve replacement system comprising a self-expanding stent with upper and lower anchoring flanges, a valve with two leaflets attached to the stent's interior surface, and a cuff comprising an absorbent material that expands to adhere the prosthesis to the mitral valve annulus. The cuff's delayed expansion allows for precise positioning of the prosthesis before securing it in place. The system enables minimally invasive replacement of diseased mitral valves, particularly in patients with left ventricular dysfunction following myocardial infarction.
