Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A quick-connect heart valve prosthesis that can be quickly and easily implanted during a surgical procedure is provided. The heart valve includes a substantially non-expandable, non-compressible prosthetic valve and a plastically-expandable stent frame, thereby enabling attachment to the annulus without sutures. The prosthetic valve may be a commercially available valve with a sewing ring and the stent frame attached thereto. The stent frame may expand from a conical deployment shape to a conical expanded shape, and may have a cloth covering its entirety as well as a plush sealing flange around its periphery to prevent paravalvular leaking.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A prosthetic heart valve for implant at a heart valve annulus, comprising: a non-expandable, non-collapsible annular support structure defining a flow orifice and having an inflow end; valve leaflets attached to the support structure and mounted to alternately open and close across the flow orifice; a plastically-expandable stent frame terminating in a first end extending around the flow orifice and connected to the valve at the inflow end of the support…
