Dual Valve Prosthesis for Transcatheter Valve Implantation
First Claim
1. A dual valve prosthesis comprising:
- a first prosthetic valve component having a first stent structure with a first prosthetic valve secured therein;
a second prosthetic valve component having a second stent structure with a second prosthetic valve secured therein; and
a linkage between the first and second stent structures that connects the first and second prosthetic valve components together.

Abstract
A dual valve prosthesis having first and second prosthetic valve components with a linkage that connects the first and second prosthetic valve components together is disclosed. Each of the first and second prosthetic valve components includes a stent structure with a prosthetic valve secured therein. In a disclosed method, the first and second prosthetic valve components include prosthetic mitral and aortic valves, respectively, and the dual heart valve prosthesis is configured to replace both the native mitral and aortic valves of the heart in a single transcatheter heart valve implantation procedure. The linkage between the first and second prosthetic valve components is configured to secure the anterior mitral valve leaflet against a wall of the left ventricle when the dual valve prosthesis is implanted within the heart.

11. A method of implanting a dual valve prosthesis within a beating heart comprising:
-
introducing a delivery catheter into the left ventricle of the heart, wherein a dual heart valve prosthesis having first and second prosthetic heart valve components connected by a linkage are disposed within a distal portion of the delivery catheter; deploying the first prosthetic heart valve component within the native mitral valve; and deploying the second prosthetic heart valve component within the native aortic valve, such that the linkage connecting the first and second prosthetic heart valve components pushes the anterior leaflet of the native mitral valve against the wall of the left ventricle. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
