Embolic material capture catheters and related devices and methods constrain a distal end portion of an embolic material capture element in an insertion configuration. A method of deploying an embolic material capture element in a blood vessel includes constraining a distal end portion of the embolic material capture element in an insertion configuration via engagement with a dilator assembly. The embolic material capture element, in the insertion configuration, is advanced through the blood vessel. A deployment cap of the dilator assembly is distally advanced relative to a dilator sheath of the dilator assembly to release the distal end portion of the embolic material capture element from engagement with the dilator assembly to reconfigure the embolic material capture element from the insertion configuration to a fully deployed configuration via self-expansion of the embolic material capture element.

Embolic protection catheter and related devices and methods

Devices, systems and methods are described herein a prosthesis for implantation within a lumen or body cavity and delivery systems for delivering the prosthesis to a location for implantation. A delivery system can include a plurality of components, including a flexible nose cone, multi-layer sheath, and pre-compressed shaft, which can be moveable relative to each other.

Replacement mitral valve, delivery system for replacement mitral valve and methods of use

Embolic material capture catheters and related devices and methods employ a staged deployment of an embolic material capture element. A method of deploying an embolic material capture element in a blood vessel includes advancing the embolic material capture element in an insertion configuration through the blood vessel. A middle portion of the embolic material capture element is expanded via distal advancement of an inner sheath toward a distal end portion of the embolic material capture element constrained by a dilator assembly. The dilator assembly is then reconfigured to release the distal end portion of the embolic material capture element from engagement with the dilator assembly. Upon release, the distal end portion of the embolic material capture element expands to complete deployment of the embolic material capture element in the blood vessel.

A replacement heart valve can have an expandable frame configured to engage a native valve annulus. A valve body can be mounted onto the expandable frame to provide functionality similar to a natural valve. The valve body has an upstream end and a downstream end, and a diameter at the downstream end is greater than a diameter at the upstream end.

Replacement heart valve

Devices, systems and methods are described herein a prosthesis for implantation within a lumen or body cavity and delivery devices for delivering the prosthesis to a location for implantation. A delivery system can include a plurality of components which are moveable relative to each other. The delivery system can include a nose cone which can cover at least a first end of the prosthesis, an outer elongate member which can cover at least a second end of the prosthesis, and a tether which can at least partially restrain the prosthesis from deployment.

Prosthesis, delivery device and methods of use

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a prosthesis and delivery device, as well as methods of use. The delivery device can be composed of an inner retention assembly configured to carry an expandable prosthesis to an in situ target location. The inner retention assembly can slide within an outer elongate hollow member which can cover the expandable prosthesis. The outer elongate hollow member can further be longitudinally collapsed into a receiving member located at the distal end of the outer elongate hollow member.
