Abstract
A method for replacing a patient's native heart valve includes delivering a prosthetic valve at the cardiovascular site from a collapsed delivery configuration to an expanded configuration, testing a performance characteristic of the prosthetic valve, at least partially reversing the deployment of the prosthetic valve, repositioning the prosthetic valve, and re-deploying the prosthetic valve.
Claims10
A method of implanting a prosthetic valve within a heart, the method comprising:
- translumenally advancing a prosthetic valve comprising an inflatable structure to a position proximate a native valve of the heart, the inflatable structure including a distal ring and a proximal ring;
- inflating the distal ring distal to the native valve;
- and
- inflating the proximal ring proximal to the native valve after inflating the distal ring.

A method of treating a patient, comprising:
- translumenally advancing a prosthetic valve to a position proximate a native valve of the heart;
- and
- deploying the prosthetic valve at the native valve from a collapsed delivery configuration to an expanded configuration, a distal end of the prosthetic valve being expanded prior to a proximal end of the prosthetic valve being expanded;
- testing a performance characteristic of the prosthetic valve;
- at least partially reversing the deployment of the prosthetic valve;
- repositioning the prosthetic valve;
- and
- re-deploying the prosthetic valve,
- wherein the prosthetic valve does not include an interlocking locking mechanism, and
- wherein the prosthetic valve prevents the flow of blood through the valve in a first direction and allows the flow of blood through the prosthetic valve in a second direction during the expansion of the prosthetic valve, after expanding the distal end of the prosthetic valve, and prior to expanding the proximal end of the prosthetic valve.
