DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MITRAL VALVE REGURGITATION METHOD

摘要

A mitral valve replacement device is adapted to be deployed at a mitral valve position in a human heart. The device has an atrial flange defining an atrial end of the device, a ventricular portion defining a ventricular end of the device, the ventricular portion having a height ranging between 2 mm to 15 mm, and an annulus support that is positioned between the atrial flange and the ventricular portion. The annulus support includes a ring of anchors extending radially therefrom, with an annular clipping space defined between the atrial flange and the ring of anchors. A plurality of leaflet holders positioned at the atrial end of the atrial flange, and a plurality of valve leaflets secured to the leaflet holders, and positioned inside the atrial flange at a location above the native annulus.
