Improvements For Prosthetic Valves And Related Inventions

Patent No. EP2741711 (titled "Improvements For Prosthetic Valves And Related Inventions") was filed by Tendyne on Aug 13, 2012. The application was issued on May 30, 2018.

Patent Summary

A transcatheter mitral valve replacement system with improved stability, in-growth, and durability. The system features a biocompatible electrospun fabric cover, an adjustable and compliant annular cuff/collar, and a narrow gauge stent design. The cuff/collar provides localized compliance to accommodate the mitral valve annulus's complex geometry and motion during the cardiac cycle. The system also includes an annular clamp structure with a hinge mechanism that allows for secure anchoring to the valve annulus. The electrospun fabric cover promotes tissue integration and reduces the risk of perivalvular leak. The system addresses issues with current transcatheter mitral valve replacement designs, including perivalvular leak, lack of stability, and durability concerns.
