Application: Implant-coupled sensors (Patent ID: US20240090841A1)
The patent filed by Edwards Lifesciences Corp. describes a method for delivering an implant to a heart chamber orifice, anchoring it, and then delivering and coupling a sensor device to the implant. The method involves the use of expansion balloons to expand the implant, as well as the delivery of a second implant to fit within the first one and anchor to the tissue wall. Additionally, the patent details the attachment of a second implant with a fluid conduit to the first implant.
Furthermore, the patent also introduces a sensor implant device comprising a shunt body with a fluid conduit and a sensor device that can be coupled to it. The shunt body is balloon expandable and can have an hourglass shape with end portions designed to grip onto tissue walls. The device may also include interwoven cords, a cylindrical stent with a skirt for sensor device attachment, and a second shunt body with anchoring arms. The patent outlines various configurations for the shunt body, including a semi-circular shape with anchoring arms, and the coupling of the sensor device at specific points along the device's structure.
