Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A prosthetic valve comprising a conical shaped sheet structure and a support structure, the sheet structure having a closed distal end and a plurality of elongated ribbon members that are positioned proximate each other in a joined relationship, whereby the ribbon members form a plurality of fluid flow modulating regions that close when fluid flow through the valve exhibits a negative flow pressure and open when fluid flow through the valve exhibits a positive flow pressure, the support structure having at least one elongated cardiovascular structure engagement member that is associated with one of the ribbon members and adapted to engage a cardiovascular structure.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A prosthetic valve for modulating fluid flow through an atrioventricular (AV) valve annulus region during cardiac cycles of a heart, said fluid flow exhibiting a plurality of fluid pressures during said cardiac cycles, said prosthetic valve comprising: a continuous conical shaped biological tissue member and a support structure, said biological tissue member comprising an adaptive tissue regeneration system adapted to induce modulated healing of cardiovasc…
