First Claim
Patent Images
1. A medical product for the securement of one or more prostheses within the vasculature of a patient, comprising:
- a percutaneous device having a portion configured to expand within the vasculature of a patient;
at least one vascular prosthesis; and
one or more fasteners having a head portion and a body portion, wherein the one or more fasteners are positioned such that the head portion contacts the expandable portion of the percutaneous device and wherein the one or more fasteners are configured to secure the at least one vascular prosthesis to patient tissue when the expandable portion of the percutaneous device is expanded within the vasculature of a patient.

Abstract
Provided are methods, devices, and systems that can be used to deploy prosthetic devices within a bodily lumen of a patient. These methods and devices can include the securement of a prosthetic valve within a vascular lumen by driving one or more fasteners from a position on an expandable device through the valve and into or through a vascular wall.

15. A medical product for securing a prosthesis within a bodily lumen, comprising:
-
an endoluminal delivery device having an expandable portion; and
one or more fasteners, each having a head portion and a body portion, wherein the one or more fasteners are arranged over the expandable portion of the delivery device and wherein the one or more fasteners are configured to be driven into patient tissue by the expansion of the expandable portion of the delivery device so as to secure a prosthesis within a bodily lumen. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A method for implanting prostheses within a bodily lumen of a patient, comprising:
-
providing a percutaneous device having a surface configured to expand within a bodily lumen of a patient, wherein at least one prosthesis is placed over the surface and wherein one or more fasteners having a head portion and a body portion are located between the surface and the prosthesis such that each fastener head contacts the expandable surface of the percutaneous device;
delivering the provided percutaneous device into a bodily lumen of a patient, wherein the surface is positioned at a site within the bodily lumen; and
securing the at least one prosthesis at the site by expanding the surface of the percutaneous device, wherein the one or more fasteners are driven into patient tissue so as to anchor the prosthesis to the patient tissue. - View Dependent Claims (32)

33. A method for securing a prosthesis within the vasculature of a patient, comprising:
-
providing a delivery device having an expandable segment and one or more fasteners having a head portion and a body portion, wherein the one or more fasteners are arranged over the expandable segment of the delivery device;
providing a vascular prosthesis;
locating the provided vascular prosthesis and the provided delivery device at a site within the vasculature of a patient; and
securing the located vascular prosthesis at the vascular site by expanding the expandable segment of the delivery device, wherein the one or more fasteners are driven into the located prosthesis so as to anchor the prosthesis at the vascular site. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35)
