Extra-anatomic aortic valve placement
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for extra-anatomic aortic valve placement, comprising:
- creating an aperture through the patient'"'"'s heart that extends from a location outside of the patient'"'"'s heart and into a left ventricle of the heart;
mounting a valve at least partially within the aperture; and
providing a continuous path for fluid communication from the mounted valve and into the patient'"'"'s aorta.

Abstract
A method for extra-anatomic valve placement includes creating an aperture through the patient'"'"'s heart that extends from a location outside of the patient'"'"'s heart and into a left ventricle of the heart. A valve is mounted at least partially within the aperture and a continuous path is provided for fluid communication from the mounted valve and into the patient'"'"'s aorta. The method can be implemented in the absence of cardio pulmonary bypass.

20. A method for extra-anatomic aortic valve placement comprising:
-
creating an aperture through the patient'"'"'s heart that extends from a location outside of the patient'"'"'s heart and into a left ventricle of the heart;
obstructing the aperture to inhibit blood loss through the aperture;
mounting a valve at least partially within the aperture while the aperture is obstructed; and
attaching a length of a flexible conduit between an outflow end of the valve and the patient'"'"'s aorta to provide for substantially unidirectional flow of blood from the left ventricle, through the conduit and into the patient'"'"'s aorta, the method being performed in the absence of cardio pulmonary bypass. - View Dependent Claims (21)

22. A system for extra-anatomic valve placement, the system comprising:
-
means for creating an aperture through the patient'"'"'s heart that extends from a location outside of the patient'"'"'s heart and into a left ventricle of the heart;
means for obstructing the aperture to inhibit blood loss through the aperture;
valve means for, when mounted at least partially within the aperture, providing substantially unidirectional flow of blood from the left ventricle and through the means for providing; and
means for, when connected between the valve means and the patient'"'"'s aorta, providing for fluid communication along a continuous path from the left ventricle into the patient'"'"'s aorta.
