Title: Innovations in Cardiac Valve Repair by Peter H Boyd
Introduction
Peter H Boyd is a notable inventor based in San Francisco, CA, who has made significant contributions to the field of cardiac valve repair. With a total of nine patents to his name, Boyd's work focuses on innovative devices and methods that enhance the effectiveness of mitral valve repair procedures. His inventions aim to improve patient outcomes through advanced medical technology.
Latest Patents
One of Boyd's latest patents is titled "Delivery devices for forming a distal anchor for mitral valve repair." This invention describes devices and methods for implanting distal anchors at the annulus of the mitral valve. The devices tension artificial chordae to pull the annulus inward, effectively reducing the size of the orifice and increasing coaptation. The delivery devices are designed to actuate and form a distal anchor made of a pre-formed knot, transitioning from an elongate configuration to a deployed configuration.
Another significant patent is the "Method and apparatus for transapical procedures on a mitral valve." This invention outlines apparatus and methods for performing non-invasive procedures to repair a cardiac valve. It includes an implant securing device that holds or secures a suture extending from an implant deployed on the atrial side of a mitral valve leaflet. The device is designed to push a half hitch knot toward the ventricular side of the leaflet, securing the implant in the desired position.
