PROSTHETIC MITRAL VALVE

摘要

A prosthetic mitral valve (100) with a frame comprises at least one arm (134) shaped to deploy among a region of chordae tendineae of the native mitral valve to deflect these chords in order to pull the native valve leaflets around the frame to avoid paravalvular leaks. The frame may be made from two parts that are connected by sutures. The prosthetic valve may be deployed by a catheter comprising a deployment clamp attached to the valve frame where the deloyment clamp is actuable to induce rotation of the frame.
