WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/120351
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method of reinforcing or repairing a bioprosthetic tissue for use as a prosthetic valve leaflet. The method includes evaluating a bioprosthetic tissue, identifying a defect in the bioprosthetic tissue, and selectively applying an adhesive to a surface of the bioprosthetic tissue at the defect prior to implantation in a patient. A valve assembly comprising a frame and valve leaflets formed of bioprosthetic tissue reinforced selectively applying an adhesive to its surface at a defect. A method of manufacturing a prosthetic heart valve assembling bioprosthetic tissue leaflets to a frame by suturing and reinforcing the suturing lines by applying an additive compound at the suturing holes.
