Minimally Invasive Valve Replacement System

View page
US Patent:
20050075712, Apr 7, 2005
Filed:
Oct 6, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/680719
Inventors:
Brian Biancucci - Mission Viejo CA, US
Keith Myers - Lake Forest CA, US
International Classification:
A61F002/04
US Classification:
623001110, 623023680, 606108000
Abstract:
Methods and systems for minimally invasive replacement of a valve. The system includes a collapsible valve and anchoring structure, devices and methods for expanding the valve anchoring structure, adhesive means to seal the valve to the surrounding tissue, a catheter-based valve sizing and delivery system, native valve removal means, and a temporary valve and filter assembly to facilitate removal of debris material. The valve assembly comprises a valve and anchoring structure for the valve, dimensioned to fit substantially within the valve sinus.

US Patent:
20070119461, May 31, 2007
Filed:
Nov 16, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/600585
Inventors:
Brian Biancucci - Chelsea MI, US
International Classification:
A61F 5/37
US Classification:
128846000
Abstract:
An article may be isolated by advancing an isolation device disclosed herein to the article, such as a tissue, to be isolated, contacting a terminal edge of the device to a region bordering the article to be isolated, and so applying suction through suction conduits of the device as to seal the article against the terminal edge of the device, thereby isolating the article to be isolated.

Prosthetic Mitral Valve

View page
US Patent:
20070173932, Jul 26, 2007
Filed:
Dec 7, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/608098
Inventors:
Douglas Cali - Mission Viejo CA, US
Keith Myers - Lake Forest CA, US
Brian Biancucci - Mission Viejo CA, US
Jason Artof - Huntington Beach CA, US
Christine Nguyen - Glendora CA, US
Rodolfo Quijano - Laguna Hills CA, US
Assignee:
3F THERAPEUTICS, INC. - Lake Forest CA
International Classification:
A61F 2/24
US Classification:
623002130, 623901000, 623002120
Abstract:
An improved prosthetic mitral valve is provided having advantageous hemodynamic performance, nonthrombogenicity, and durability. The valve includes a valve body having an inflow annulus and an outflow annulus. Commissural attachment locations are disposed adjacent the outflow annulus. An anterior leaflet and a posterior leaflet of the valve are shaped differently from one another. The inflow annulus preferably is scalloped so as to have a saddle-shaped periphery having a pair of relatively high portions separated by a pair of relatively low portions. The anterior high portion preferably is vertically higher than the posterior high portion.

Reconfiguring Heart Features

US Patent:
20100121433, May 13, 2010
Filed:
Sep 21, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/563293
Inventors:
Steven F. Bolling - Ann Arbor MI, US
Jeremy A. Abbs - Minneapolis MN, US
Brian A. Biancucci - Chelsea MI, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/24
US Classification:
623 211, 623 236
Abstract:
Among other things, a support for living tissue includes gripping elements to attach to the living tissue and to hold the support securely in place. An annular structure is coupled to the gripping elements. The annular structure adjusts the support between a first configuration for installing the support and a second configuration in which the support is held securely in place after installation. The annular structure is self-supporting in the first and second configurations.

US Patent:
20100249920, Sep 30, 2010
Filed:
Jun 4, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/794235
Inventors:
Steven F. Bolling - Ann Arbor MI, US
Jeremy A. Abbs - Minneapolis MN, US
Brian A. Biancucci - Chelsea MI, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/24
US Classification:
623 211
Abstract:
Among other things, a heart tissue support has a ring-shaped body and gripping elements, each gripping element having a free end that is sharp enough to penetrate heart tissue when pushed against the tissue, and a feature to resist withdrawal of the gripping element from the tissue after the sharp free end has penetrated the tissue. Among other things, a tool to attach a support to a heart valve annulus has splaying elements that spread apart to hold the support in an expanded configuration prior to attachment. Among other things, an apparatus includes polygonal elements connected along corners of the elements to form a ring, the polygonal elements being capable of expanding and contracting, and gripping elements attached to points of the polygonal elements. Among other things, a method includes using a delivery tool to expand a support and a heart valve annulus to one diameter.

US Patent:
20120053680, Mar 1, 2012
Filed:
Aug 25, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/868624
Inventors:
Steven F. Bolling - Ann Arbor MI, US
Jeremy A. Abbs - Minneapolis MN, US
Brian A. Biancucci - Chelsea MI, US
International Classification:
A61F 2/24
US Classification:
623 211, 623 236
Abstract:
Among other things, a tool to attach a support to a heart valve annulus includes a stabilizing body that includes features to stabilize an axial position of the tool relative to the annulus, and an attachment device connected to the stabilizing body, the stabilizing body and the attachment device being movable relative to one another under control from a location remote from the tool, from one configuration in which the support is held in a pre-attachment contracted state to another configuration in which the support is held in an expanded state for attachment at multiple locations around the annulus by action from the remote location. Among other things, an apparatus includes structural elements, and gripping elements, and configuration elements attached to the respective structural elements and each controllable to permit or prevent the ring from expanding.
