Prosthetic heart valve and systems and methods for delivering the same
First Claim
1. A prosthetic heart valve comprising:
- a self-expanding wire frame body having a proximal end and a distal end;
a valve disposed in the body;
a leaflet clip coupled to the body and configured to be transitioned between a first configuration in which the prosthetic valve can be inserted into a heart, and a second configuration in which the leaflet clip is adapted to capture a native valve leaflet such that the native valve leaflet is directly engaged between the leaflet clip and the body when the body is disposed in a native annulus of an atrioventricular valve of a heart; and
a suture operably coupled the leaflet clip and having a length sufficient to extend from the leaflet clip through a ventricle of the heart and out a wall of the ventricle when the body is disposed in the native annulus of the atrioventricular valve of the heart,the suture configured to allow a user to transition the leaflet clip from the first configuration to the second configuration when the body is disposed in the native annulus of the atrioventricular valve of the heart.

Abstract
A prosthetic heart valve includes a self-expanding wire frame body, a valve disposed in the body, a leaflet clip coupled to the body, and a control element operably coupled to the leaflet clip. The body has a proximal end and a distal end. The leaflet clip is configured to be transitioned between a first configuration in which the prosthetic valve can be inserted into a heart, and a second configuration in which the leaflet clip is disposed to capture a native valve leaflet between the leaflet clip and the wire frame body when the body is disposed in a native annulus of an atrioventricular valve of a heart. The control element extends from the leaflet clip through a ventricle of the heart and out a wall of the ventricle to allow a user to transition the leaflet clip from its first configuration to its second configuration.

19. A prosthetic heart valve comprising:
-
a self-expanding wire frame body having a proximal end and a distal end; a valve disposed in the body; a leaflet clip coupled to the body and configured to be transitioned between an elongated condition in which the prosthetic valve can be inserted into a heart, and a folded condition in which the leaflet clip is adapted to capture a native valve leaflet such that the native valve leaflet is directly engaged between the leaflet clip and the body when the body is disposed in a native annulus of an atrioventricular valve of a heart; a suture operably coupled the leaflet clip and having a length sufficient to extend from the leaflet clip through a ventricle of the heart and out a wall of the ventricle when the body is disposed in the native annulus of the atrioventricular valve of the heart, the suture configured to allow a user to transition the leaflet clip from the elongated condition to the folded condition.

20. A prosthetic heart valve comprising:
-
a self-expanding wire frame body including a proximal end and a distal end, and defining a length between the proximal and distal ends; a valve disposed in the body; a leaflet clip having a first end attached to the body and a second free end, the leaflet clip being transitionable between a first condition in which free end extends substantially in a distal direction, and a second condition in which the free end extends in a proximal direction and the leaflet clip is adapted to capture a native valve leaflet such that the native valve leaflet is directly engaged between the leaflet clip and the body when the body is disposed in a native annulus of an atrioventricular valve of a heart; and a suture operably coupled the leaflet clip and having a length sufficient to extend from the leaflet clip through a ventricle of the heart and out a wall of the ventricle when the body is disposed in the native annulus of the atrioventricular valve of the heart, the suture being configured to allow a user to transition the leaflet clip from the first condition to the second condition.
