Title:
PERCUTANEOUSLY DELIVERABLE HEART VALVE AND METHOD ASSOCIATED THEREWITH
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2015013119
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a prosthetic heart valve implantable by catheter without surgery that includes a substantially "dry" membrane or tissue material.SOLUTION: In at least one embodiment, an above mentioned tissue is folded in a dry state to form a tissue leaflet assembly that is attached to a frame to form an implantable prosthetic heart valve. Alternatively, one or more tissue leaflets are operatively associated with the frame to form the implantable prosthetic heart valve. The implantable prosthetic heart valve is subsequently pre-mounted on an integrated catheter delivery system. The catheter delivery system that includes the implantable prosthetic heart valve is then packaged and transported while the tissue remains dry. The implantable prosthetic heart valve, while remaining substantially dry, can then be implanted into a patient receiving treatment.
