Mitral Valve Prosthesis for Transcatheter Valve Implantation

摘要

A transcatheter valve prosthesis is disclosed that has a compressed, delivery configuration and an expanded configuration for deployment within a native heart valve. The valve prosthesis includes a self-expanding frame and a prosthetic valve component. The self-expanding frame includes a valve receiving portion defining an opening therethrough and first and second anchors at opposing ends of the valve receiving portion. The valve receiving portion is substantially planar and the first and second anchors are oriented substantially perpendicular to the valve receiving portion when the valve prosthesis is in the expanded configuration. The prosthetic valve component is disposed within the opening of the valve receiving portion and secured thereto.

1. A transcatheter valve prosthesis having a compressed, delivery configuration and an expanded configuration for deployment within a native heart valve, the valve prosthesis comprising:
a self-expanding frame that includes a valve receiving portion defining an opening therethrough and first and second anchors at opposing ends of the valve receiving portion, wherein the valve receiving portion is substantially planar with a longitudinal length that is greater than a transverse width and the first and second anchors are oriented substantially perpendicular to the valve receiving portion when the valve prosthesis is in the expanded configuration; and
a prosthetic valve component disposed within the opening of the valve receiving portion and secured thereto.
