Abstract
An endovascularly deployed prosthetic includes a portion for being positioned within an ascending aorta. The prosthesis includes a replacement aortic valve on a proximal end thereof. The prosthesis includes an increased diameter portion that seals against the aorta at a more distal portion, and a pair of conduits extend from the increased diameter portion to the coronaries for fluidly coupling the coronaries to the prosthesis.
Claims3
A transcatheter heart valve assembly comprising:
- an inner frame comprising a first graft covering about a prosthetic heart valve, wherein the first graft covering extends proximal the prosthetic heart valve for providing sealing to the prosthetic heart valve;
- an outer frame formed from a metallic material and defining an open cell configuration, and being secured to the first graft covering by a plurality of stitches, the outer frame being positioned at least partially radially outwardly of the inner frame;
- and
- a sealing material positioned externally to the outer frame and configured for providing sealing between the outer frame and a patient's anatomical wall to prevent paravalvular leaks,
- wherein the sealing material includes a plurality of radially extending fibers, wherein at least some of the radially extending fibers are fibers that extend outwardly of the outer frame;
- wherein the first graft covering is made of a polymer,
- wherein at least some other of the radially extending fibers engage the first graft covering at a proximal end of the heart valve assembly to seal an inflow end portion thereof,
- wherein a second graft covering extends about a distal end of the heart valve assembly to seal an outflow end portion thereof.
