Replacement Heart Valve
Patent No. EP3572046 (titled "Replacement Heart Valve") was filed by Boston Scientific on Jun 19, 2013. The application was issued on Apr 24, 2024.
Patent Summary
A transcatheter replacement heart valve specifically designed to address the unique challenges of replacing valves in bicuspid aortic valves. The valve has a non-round shape that conforms to the geometry of bicuspid valves to prevent misalignment and improve function. The valve also has features to reduce stress and improve durability in bicuspid valves, which are prone to issues due to their abnormal shape. This provides a better replacement option for patients with congenital bicuspid valves or valves that have become bicuspid due to disease.
