Abstract:
A mitral valve prosthesis is percutaneously and/or transapically deployed in at least two stages. In a first stage, a mitral annular ring platform adapted for percutaneous delivery is delivered to and anchored in the mitral valve annulus. In the second stage, a valved-stent mitral valve prosthetic device adapted for percutaneously delivery is delivered to the mitral valve annulus for mounting in the mitral annular ring platform. This approach provides a consistent platform for accepting valved-stent mitral valve prosthetic devices from different vendors to be used.

Claim (Index 17):
A method for implanting a mitral ring platform at a subject's mitral valve comprising:\n providing a mitral ring platform comprising wire that when extended from a delivery catheter comprises three preformed, distinct but contiguous sections,\n a first one of said sections comprising at least one leading turn located at a distal end of the wire that is configured to wind the mitral ring platform implant in the subject's mitral valve, \n a second one of said sections comprising at least one intermediate turn and being configured to provide an anchoring mechanism for a valved-stent mitral valve prosthetic device, \n a third one of said sections comprising at least one trailing turn located at a proximal end of the wire, and being configured to maintain a position of the mitral ring platform relative to the subject's mitral valve prior to the deployment of the valved-stent mitral valve prosthetic device for mounting within the mitral ring platform; \n deploying the leading turn of the first section of the platform from a delivery catheter to the ventricular side of the subject's mitral valve; deploying the second section of the mitral ring platform from the delivery catheter so that the second section is positioned around the subject's mitral valve leaflets; and, deploying the trailing turn of the third section of the platform from the delivery catheter to the atrial side of the subject's mitral valve annulus, thereby implanting the platform at the subject's mitral valve.
