Heart valve remodeling device
First Claim
1. A heart valve remodeling device, comprising:
- a delivery device including an inner shaft and an outer shaft slidably disposed over the inner shaft; and
a braided stent non-removably secured to the inner shaft at a distal end and non-removably secured to the outer shaft at a proximal end, the braided stent being translatable between an elongated configuration and a deployed configuration as a result of relative movement between the inner shaft and the outer shaft;
wherein the braided stent includes a polymer valve having two or more leaflets disposed within the braided stent, wherein adjacent leaflets of the two or more leaflets form longitudinally-oriented commissures proximate a perimeter of the valve, the commissures being fixedly attached to the braided stent along their length.

Abstract
A heart valve remodeling device may include a delivery device including an inner shaft slidably disposed over a guidewire and an outer shaft slidably disposed over the inner shaft, and a braided stent fixedly attached to the inner shaft and the outer shaft. The braided stent may be translatable between an elongated configuration and a deployed configuration by movement of the inner shaft relative to the outer shaft. The braided stent may include a valve having two or more leaflets disposed within the braided stent. Adjacent leaflets of the two or more leaflets may form longitudinally-oriented commissures proximate a perimeter of the valve, the commissures being fixedly secured to the braided stent along their length.
