HEART VALVE REMODELING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A heart valve remodeling device, comprising:
- a delivery device including an inner shaft and an outer shaft slidably disposed over the inner shaft; and
a braided stent fixedly attached to the inner shaft at a distal end and fixedly attached to the outer shaft at a proximal end, the braided stent being translatable between an elongated configuration and a deployed configuration;
wherein the braided stent includes a valve having two or more leaflets disposed within the braided stent.

Abstract
A heart valve remodeling device may include a delivery device including an inner shaft slidably disposed over a guidewire and an outer shaft slidably disposed over the inner shaft, and a braided stent fixedly attached to the inner shaft and the outer shaft. The braided stent may be translatable between an elongated configuration and a deployed configuration by movement of the inner shaft relative to the outer shaft. The braided stent may include a valve having two or more leaflets disposed within the braided stent. Adjacent leaflets of the two or more leaflets may form longitudinally-oriented commissures proximate a perimeter of the valve, the commissures being fixedly secured to the braided stent along their length.

15. A heart valve remodeling device, comprising:
-
a delivery device including an inner shaft and an outer shaft slidably disposed over the inner shaft; and a braided stent non-removably secured to the inner shaft and non-removably secured to the outer shaft, the braided stent being translatable between an elongated configuration and a deployed configuration by movement of the inner shaft relative to the outer shaft; wherein the braided stent includes a valve having two or more leaflets disposed within the braided stent, wherein adjacent leaflets of the two or more leaflets form longitudinally-oriented commissures proximate a perimeter of the valve, the commissures being fixedly secured to the braided stent along their length. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A heart valve remodeling device, comprising:
-
an elongate guidewire; an inner shaft slidably disposed over the guidewire; an outer shaft slidably disposed over the inner shaft, wherein the inner shaft extends distally of the outer shaft; a braided wire frame configured to shift between an elongated delivery configuration and a deployed configuration as a result of relative longitudinal movement between the inner shaft and the outer shaft, the braided wire frame being fixedly attached to the inner shaft and the outer shaft; and a polymer valve structure comprising a hollow cylindrical body and two or more leaflets integrally formed with the cylindrical body, the polymer valve structure being disposed within the braided wire frame with the two or more leaflets being radially spaced apart from the braided wire frame when the braided wire frame is in the deployed configuration and the leaflets are in a closed configuration.
