A heart valve stent having a section with a heart valve implant and several proximally disposed tissue anchors, also comprising a plurality of anchoring threats, each with a proximate end fastened to the stent or valve and a distal end attached to tissue within a heart chamber to provide tension between the heart chamber tissue and the stent.

Truncated cone heart valve stent

This invention relates to the design and function of a compressible valve replacement prosthesis, collared or uncollared, which can be deployed into a beating heart without extracorporeal circulation using a transcatheter delivery system. The design as discussed focuses on the deployment of a device via a minimally invasive fashion and by way of example considers a minimally invasive surgical procedure preferably utilizing the intercostal or subxyphoid space for valve introduction. In order to accomplish this, the valve is formed in such a manner that it can be compressed to fit within a delivery system and secondarily ejected from the delivery system into the annulus of a target valve such as a mitral valve or tricuspid valve.

Prosthetic valves and related inventions

The invention relates to a medical prosthesis, and in particular a heart valve substitute comprising a pliant tubular conduit mounted on a resilient annular frame and tethered to a non-perforating anchor within the right or left ventricle of the heart, wherein the pliant tubular conduit is a reciprocating mechanical member that is compressed by pressurized working fluid within the ventricle during systole.
