Abstract
The present invention is directed to a prosthetic atrioventricular valve (10), suitable for transvascular delivery to a heart valve annulus, comprising a tubular stent-like portion (14) that is continuous in its upper part with a laterally expanded crown-like portion (12), wherein at least said stent-like portion is covered with a covering layer (32) comprising a biocompatible fabric, pericardial tissue or combination thereof, and wherein said stent-like portion is fitted with two or more valve leaflets (36a, 36b). The invention also includes within its scope a cardiac valve support device (18) comprising a tubular stent-like portion that is continuous in its upper part with a laterally expanded crown-like portion.
Claims18
A prosthetic atrioventricular valve, suitable for transvascular delivery to a heart valve annulus, comprising a tubular stent-like portion that is continuous in its upper part with a laterally expanded crown-like portion, wherein at least said stent-like portion is covered with a covering layer comprising a material selected from the group consisting of a biocompatible fabric, pericardial tissue and a combination of both a fabric and pericardial tissue, and wherein said stent-like portion is fitted with two or more valve leaflets.
A prosthetic atrioventricular valve, suitable for transvascular delivery to a heart valve annulus, comprising a tubular stent-like portion that is continuous in its upper part with a laterally expanded crown-like portion, and in its lower portion with a lower sleeve support frame, wherein said stent-like and crown like portions and said sleeve support frame are covered with a covering layer comprising a material selected from the group consisting of a biocompatible fabric, pericardial tissue and a combination of both a fabric and pericardial tissue, and wherein said stent-like portion is fitted with two or more valve leaflets and two or more anchoring arms.
A cardiac valve support device suitable in size, shape and construction for transvascular delivery and implantation at an atrioventricular annulus, comprising a tubular stent-like portion that is continuous, in its upper part with a laterally expanded crown-like portion, wherein at least said stent-like portion is covered with a covering layer comprising a material selected from the group consisting of a biocompatible fabric, pericardial tissue and a combination of both a fabric and pericardial tissue.
