Application: Delivery devices for delivering a self-expanding prosthetic heart valve (Patent ID: US20240138981A1)
The patent filed by Medtronic Plc discloses delivery devices for self-expanding prosthetic heart valves, featuring a spindle with cords to cinch the valve and self-expanding release pins to collapse it. The release pins have a normal expanded condition that can be collapsed by a capsule, reducing the radial distance from the central axis. The device includes multiple cords and release pins, with the distal segments of the pins spaced equidistantly to center the valve during deployment.
The method outlined in the patent involves collapsing the heart valve by retracting the cords and extending the capsule to collapse the release pins. Subsequently, the valve can be deployed by retracting the capsule and extending the cords to expand the valve. The release pins and valve may be made of shape memory material like Nitinol, allowing for controlled deployment and retrieval of the prosthetic heart valve. The method ensures precise and controlled deployment of the valve, maintaining its position and functionality during the procedure.
