Abstract

This invention relates to a disk device for anchoring one or more transluminal sutures, and methods for anchoring such sutures, especially for anchoring transcatheter heart valves.

Claims

1. A device for anchoring a transluminal suture, comprising a substantially rigid suturing disk having an axial tunnel, a locking pin tunnel that intersects the axial tunnel, a locking pin operatively associated with the locking pin tunnel, one or more radial channels that do not intersect with the axial tunnel and that do not intersect the locking pin tunnel, and a winding channel circumferentially disposed within a perimeter sidewall of the disk.

2. The device of claim 1, further comprising a polyester velour coating.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the one or more radial channels is four radial channels.

4. The device of claim 1, further comprising wherein the one or more radial channels, each have a proximal end comprising an enlarged axial keyhole tunnel and a distal end comprising an opening in the disk edge.

5. The device of claim 1, further comprising a flexible pad operatively associated with the rigid suturing disk, said flexible pad having a through-hole longitudinally aligned with said axial tunnel of the suturing disk.

6. The device of claim 1, further comprising a sleeve gasket operatively associated with the rigid suturing disk, said sleeve gasket having a lumen longitudinally aligned with said axial tunnel of the suturing disk.

7. The device of claim 1, further comprising a sleeve gasket attached to the rigid suturing disk and a flexible pad attached to the sleeve gasket, wherein the sleeve gasket has a lumen longitudinally aligned with said axial tunnel of the suturing disk, and wherein the flexible pad has a through-hole longitudinally aligned with both the lumen of the sleeve gasket and the axial tunnel of the suturing disk.

8. The device of claim 1 in a sterile surgical kit.

9. The device of claim 1 in a sterile surgical kit containing a transcatheter delivery system.

10. The device of claim 1 in a sterile surgical kit containing a transcatheter valve.

12. A method for anchoring a transluminal suture, comprising the step of affixing the transluminal suture to the device of claim 1, wherein the device is positioned external to a body lumen, and the transluminal suture extends from within the lumen to the device.

11. A device for anchoring a transluminal suture, comprising a substantially rigid suturing disk, a sleeve gasket connected to the suturing disk, and a flexible pad connected to the sleeve gasket, said substantially rigid suturing disk having an axial tunnel, a locking pin tunnel that intersects the axial tunnel, a locking pin operatively associated with the locking pin tunnel, one or more radial channels that do not intersect with the axial tunnel and that do not intersect the locking pin tunnel, and a winding channel circumferentially disposed within a perimeter sidewall of the disk, said sleeve gasket in longitudinal alignment with said axial tunnel of the suturing disk, said flexible pad having a through-hole longitudinally aligned with both the lumen of the sleeve gasket and the axial tunnel of the suturing disk.
