Abstract
Some embodiments described herein include a heart valve replacement system that may be delivered to the targeted heart valve site via a delivery catheter. In some embodiments, the heart valve replacement system can assemble a valve device after the valve device is delivered to the heart. In some embodiments, heart valve replacement system includes two anterior flaps that are separate but overlap each other.
Claims22
A prosthetic tricuspid valve comprising:
- a main body comprising an occluder having valve leaflets;
- a first anterior flap extending laterally from an end of the main body;
- and
- a second anterior flap extending laterally from the end of the main body in a same direction as the first anterior flap,
- wherein portions of the first anterior flap and the second anterior flap overlap each other when the prosthetic tricuspid valve is deployed, and
- wherein having the portions of the first anterior flap and the second anterior flap that overlap each other increases a bending resistance of the first anterior flap and the second anterior flap in combination as compared to the first anterior flap and the second anterior flap individually.
