Abstract:
A two-step delivery method, system and device is disclosed comprising, in various embodiments, a self-expanding frame. A self-expanding frame is delivered and expanded within a heart chamber followed by delivery of a prosthetic valve comprising prosthetic valves thereon into the expanded self-expanding frame, which is in turn connected to a valve connection region defined on and by the delivered and expanded frame.

Claim (Index 1):
A two-step method of delivering a self-expanding prosthetic mitral valve device comprising prosthetic mitral valve leaflets to an implantation site within a left atrium of a patient's heart for supplementing and/or replacing the native mitral valve leaflet functionality, comprising:\n accessing the left atrium with a delivery catheter having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen therethrough; loading the self-expanding prosthetic mitral valve frame in a collapsed configuration into the lumen of the delivery catheter at the proximal end thereof, wherein the collapsed configuration of the prosthetic mitral valve device comprises:\n a prosthetic mitral valve connection region attached thereto, and \n a section with openings therethrough; \n delivering the collapsed prosthetic mitral valve frame out of the distal end of the delivery catheter and into the left atrium at a location proximate the implantation site; allowing the delivered self-expanding prosthetic mitral valve frame to expand within the left atrium at the implantation site, wherein at least a portion of the expanded device engages at least a portion of the upper annular surface within the left atrium and wherein the prosthetic mitral valve connection region is substantially aligned with the annulus between the left atrium and the left ventricle; loading a prosthetic mitral valve comprising prosthetic mitral valve leaflets into the lumen of the delivery catheter and delivering the prosthetic mitral valve out of the distal end of the delivery catheter and into the expanded self-expanding prosthetic mitral valve frame; and positioning and connecting the prosthetic mitral valve to the prosthetic mitral valve connection region of the expanded prosthetic valve frame.
