Abstract
Devices, systems, and/or methods can provide compliance characteristics to fluid vessels. For example, an implant device can include an anchoring structure to anchor the implant device to a blood vessel, heart valve, or other anatomy. The anchoring structure can be coupled to an elastic tube that is configured to expand. The elastic tube can include a prosthetic valve to permit fluid to flow through the implant device.
Claims20
An implant device comprising:
- a first elastic tube including a first end portion and a second end portion, the first elastic tube adapted to extend from the first end portion into a heart chamber;
- a first anchoring structure associated with the first end portion and dimensioned to be anchored to a native heart valve associated with the heart chamber;
- and
- a first prosthetic valve coupled to the second end portion, the first prosthetic valve adapted to be disposed within the heart chamber.

An implant device comprising:
- a first anchoring feature adapted to be anchored to a heart valve;
- a first compliant tube coupled to the first anchoring feature at a first end portion of the first compliant tube;
- and
- a prosthetic valve coupled to a second end portion of the first compliant tube, the prosthetic valve adapted to be disposed within a heart chamber.
