A medical implant may include an expandable anchor member having a lumen extending through the expandable anchor member from an inflow end to an outflow end; a plurality of valve leaflets disposed within the lumen extending through the expandable anchor member; a seal member disposed adjacent an exterior of the expandable anchor member; and a porous material extending from the seal member to the plurality of valve leaflets.

Replacement heart valve with improved cusp washout and reduced loading

Methods and devices for treating a lung are disclosed. The method may include deploying a catheter into an airway of the lung, and discharging a media into the airway through the catheter. The media may be configured to increase elasticity of lung tissue in the vicinity of the airway or occlude the airway.

Devices and methods for treating a lung

A vascular closure system for sealing an opening in a blood vessel may include an introducer sheath extending through the opening, the introducer sheath having a lumen extending through the introducer sheath, wherein partial withdrawal of the introducer sheath from the opening everts tissue of the blood vessel at the opening, and a shaping sheath slidably disposed over the introducer sheath, the shaping sheath having a split distal portion configured to engage the everted tissue.

Large bore vascular closure system

A replacement heart valve implant may include an expandable anchor member, a plurality of valve leaflets disposed within the anchor member, a seal member disposed about a distal portion of the anchor member, one or more whip sutures attaching a distal end of the seal member to a distal end of the plurality of valve leaflets at a joint, one or more distal lashing sutures attaching a distal portion of the seal member to a distal end of the anchor member, and a plurality of proximal lashing sutures attaching a proximal portion of the seal member to the distal portion of the anchor member, wherein the one or more distal lashing sutures does not extend through the seal member.
