Patent EP-1356793-A2 (EP)
IPC: A61F2/24
Filed: 2003-04-23
Abstract: A system for percutaneously inserting a prosthesis containing a biological
replacement for a defective valve into an implantation site through a body lumen.
The system contains a balloon catheter (12) upon which a collapsable stent (50) containing a
venous valvular replacement is mounted. A protective shield (31) is slidably mounted
upon the catheter that is movable between a closed position over the balloon and an
open position wherein the balloon can be inflated to expand the stent. A central
lumen (17) runs through the catheter that is formed of stainless steel. The central lumen
provides a one to one torque ratio between the proximal end of the catheter and the
distal end to enhance the steerability of the catheter. The vein of the replacement is
reduced in thickness between 50% and 90% of its original size thereby considerably
reducing the size of the replacement package when the stem is collapsed upon the
balloon of the catheter.
