Device, Assembly And Method For Mitral Valve Repair

View page
US Patent:
6797001, Sep 28, 2004
Filed:
Mar 11, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/095507
Inventors:
Mark L. Mathis - Kirkland WA
Gregory D. Nieminen - Bothell WA
Assignee:
Cardiac Dimensions, Inc. - Kirkland WA
International Classification:
A61F 206
US Classification:
623 237, 623 236, 623904, 600 16, 128898
Abstract:
A mitral valve therapy device effects the condition of a mitral valve annulus of a heart. The device includes an elongated member dimensioned to be placed in the coronary sinus of the heart adjacent the mitral valve annulus. The elongated member is flexible when placed in the heart in a first orientation to position the device in the coronary sinus adjacent the mitral valve annulus and relatively inflexible when rotated into a second orientation after the device is positioned in the coronary sinus adjacent to the mitral valve annulus to substantially straighten and increase the radius of curvature of the mitral valve annulus.

Device And Method For Modifying The Shape Of A Body Organ

US Patent:
6960229, Nov 1, 2005
Filed:
May 2, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/429181
Inventors:
Mark L. Mathis - Kirkland WA, US
Gregory D. Nieminen - Bothell WA, US
David G. Reuter - Bothell WA, US
Assignee:
Cardiac Dimensions, Inc. - Kirkland WA
International Classification:
A61F002/06
US Classification:
623 236, 623 21, 600 37
Abstract:
An intravascular support device includes a support or reshaper wire, a proximal anchor and a distal anchor. The support wire engages a vessel wall to change the shape of tissue adjacent the vessel in which the intravascular support is placed. The anchors and support wire are designed such that the vessel in which the support is placed remains open and can be accessed by other devices if necessary. The device provides a minimal metal surface area to blood flowing within the vessel to limit the creation of thrombosis. The anchors can be locked in place to secure the support within the vessel.

System And Method To Effect The Mitral Valve Annulus Of A Heart

View page
US Patent:
6964683, Nov 15, 2005
Filed:
Mar 10, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/798728
Inventors:
Leonard Kowalsky - Bothell WA, US
Gregory D. Nieminen - Bothell WA, US
Ryan H. Braxtan - Snoqualmie WA, US
Mark L. Mathis - Fremont CA, US
Assignee:
Cardiac Dimensions, Inc. - Kirkland WA
International Classification:
A61F002/24
US Classification:
623 236
Abstract:
An assembly for effecting the condition of a mitral valve annulus includes a mitral valve therapy device, a coupling structure carried by the device, a catheter, a second coupling structure, and a locking member. To implant the device, the device is first releasably locked to a pushing member by the coupling structures and the locking member. When the device is positioned within the coronary sinus adjacent the mitral valve annulus and deployed, the coupling structures may be released from each other by the release of the locking member.

Fixed Length Anchor And Pull Mitral Valve Device And Method

View page
US Patent:
6976995, Dec 20, 2005
Filed:
Jan 30, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/066426
Inventors:
Mark L. Mathis - Kirkland WA, US
Gregory D. Nieminen - Bothell WA, US
David G. Reuter - Bothell WA, US
Assignee:
Cardiac Dimensions, Inc. - Kirkland WA
International Classification:
A61F002/24
US Classification:
623 237, 623 236
Abstract:
A device effects the mitral valve annulus geometry of a heart. The device includes first and second anchors configured to be positioned within the coronary sinus of the heart adjacent the mitral valve annulus of the heart and a fixed length connecting member permanently attached to the first and second anchors. With the first anchor anchored in the coronary sinus, the second anchor may be displaced proximally to effect the geometry of the mitral valve annulus and released to maintain the effect on the mitral valve geometry.

Tissue Shaping Device

View page
US Patent:
7351260, Apr 1, 2008
Filed:
Jan 19, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/275630
Inventors:
Gregory Nieminen - Bothell WA, US
Nathan Aronson - Chico CA, US
Assignee:
Cardiac Dimensions, Inc. - Kirkland WA
International Classification:
A61F 2/24
US Classification:
623 236, 623 237
Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a tissue shaping device adapted to be disposed in a vessel near a patient's heart to reshape the patient's heart. Such tissue shaping device can include an expandable proximal anchor; a proximal anchor lock adapted to lock the proximal anchor in an expanded configuration; an expandable distal anchor; a distal anchor lock adapted to lock the distal anchor in an expanded configuration; and a connector disposed between the proximal anchor and the distal anchor, the connector having a substantially non-circular cross-section.

US Patent:
7503932, Mar 17, 2009
Filed:
Apr 11, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/279352
Inventors:
Mark L. Mathis - Fremont CA, US
Gregory Nieminen - Bothell WA, US
Nathan Aronson - Chico CA, US
Garrett Beget - Bothell CA, US
Assignee:
Cardiac Dimensions, Inc. - Kirkland WA
International Classification:
A61F 2/06
US Classification:
623 236, 623 237
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a medical device and uses thereof that supports or changes the shape of tissue near a vessel in which the device is placed. The present invention is particularly useful in reducing mitral valve regurgitation by changing the shape of or supporting a mitral valve annulus. The device includes a support structure, a proximal anchor adapted to be positioned in a superior vena cava, and a distal anchor adapted to be positioned in a coronary sinus. The support structure engages a vessel wall to change the shape of tissue adjacent the vessel in which the intravascular support is placed.
