SINUS VENOSUS ATRIAL SEPTAL DEFECT TREATMENT DEVICE
First Claim
1. A sinus venosus atrial septal defect treatment device for use with a balloon catheter, comprising:
- a tubular body having opposed first and second open ends, the body defined by;
a proximal portion having an expandable peripheral wall, the expandable peripheral wall of the proximal portion including a balloon catheter locking system on an exterior surface thereof, wherein the balloon catheter locking system comprises a plurality of receiving plates spaced about the peripheral wall, each of the receiving plates including a keyhole therethrough, the keyhole being configured to receive a corresponding key from the balloon catheter;
a distal portion having an expandable peripheral wall made from self-expanding metal mesh covered with polytetrafluoroethylene, the expandable peripheral wall of the distal portion including an expandable septal augmenter rim at an edge portion thereof and configured for securing the device in position upon insertion into the appropriate body part; and
a central portion between the proximal portion and the distal portion, the central portion including an expandable peripheral wall, wherein the peripheral wall of the central portion comprises elongated flexible metal rods about the peripheral wall, wherein the metal rods are covered with polytetrafluoroethylene.

Abstract
The sinus venosus atrial septal defect (“ASD”) treatment device includes has a generally tubular or funnel shaped configuration. A first end of the device can have a diameter that is less than a diameter of a second end of the device. The device can be inserted in the right upper right pulmonary vein PV. The second end of the device is configured to expand in a skirt-like configuration once the device is positioned in the right upper right pulmonary vein PV. In this manner, the device closes the upper sinus venosus hole and diverts anomalous pulmonary venous drainage into the left atrium.
