Definitions
- This invention relates generally to devices and methods for performing cardiovascular procedures wherein a heart valve or segment of the aorta is being repaired or replaced without the use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary support (commonly referred to as "off-pump" procedures) .
- the invention relates to devices and methods for accessing, resecting, repairing, and/or replacing one of the heart valves, in particular the aortic valve.
- This invention also relates to methods and systems for performing minimally-invasive cardiac procedures such as the endovascular, endocardiac or endpluminal placement, implantation or removal and consecutive replacement of heart valves. These techniques may be generally referred to as direct access percutaneous valve replacement ("DAPVR”) .
- DAPVR direct access percutaneous valve replacement
- Heart valve disease There are two major categories of heart valve disease: (i) stenosis, which is an obstruction to forward blood flow caused by a heart valve, and (ii) regurgitation, which is the retrograde leakage of blood through a heart valve. Stenosis often results from calcification of a heart valve that makes the valve stiffer and less able to open fully. Therefore, blood must be pumped through a smaller opening. Regurgitation can be caused by the insufficiency of any of the valve leaflets such that the valve does not fully close.
- endovascular procedures may have a reduced mortality rate, may require only local anesthesia, and may necessitate only a few days of hospitalization.
- the range of procedures that has been developed for an endovascular approach to date has been limited to repair of the coronary arteries, such as angioplasty and atherectomy.
- a catheter-mounted valve is incorporated into a collapsible cylindrical structure, such as a stent (commonly referred to as a "valved stent") .
- a stent commonly referred to as a "valved stent”
- an elongated catheter is used to insert a mechanical valve into the lumen of the aorta via entry through a distal artery (e.g., the femoral or brachial artery) .
- a distal artery e.g., the femoral or brachial artery
- the percutaneous placement of an artificial valve may have certain limitations and ancillary effects.
- such procedures are only of benefit to a small number of patients and are not meant to become an alternative to surgical heart valve procedures requiring the use of extracorporeal bypass.
- Another issue is that performing the entire procedure via small diameter vessels (e.g., the femoral, iliac or brachial arteries) restricts the use of larger tools and devices for the resection or repair of the diseased heart valve.
- this endovascular procedure may increase the risk of various vascular complications such as bleeding, dissection, rupture of the blood vessel, and ischemia to the extremity supplied by the vessel used to perform the operation.
- one or more of a patient's femoral arteries, femoral veins, or other i vessels for arterial and venous access may not be available for introduction of delivery devices or valve removal tools due to inadequate vessel diameter, vessel stenosis, vascular injury, or other conditions.
- Another possible disadvantage of the small vessel procedure is that the new valve must be . collapsed to a very small diameter.that could result in structural damage to the new valve. . Additionally, such remote access sites like the femoral artery may make precise manipulation of the surgical tools more difficult (e.g., exchange of guide wires and catheters and deployment of the new valve) . Furthermore, placing wires, catheters, procedural tools, or delivery devices through one or more heart structures (e.g., the mitral valve) to reach the target site can result in damage to those structures (e.g., acute malfunctioning or insufficiency of the valve being mechanically hindered by the surgical equipment or valve deterioration resulting from mechanical friction ' inflicting micro- lesions on the valve) .
- heart structures e.g., the mitral valve
- embolic stoke or embolic ischemia from valve or vascular wall debris that is liberated into the blood flow as the diseased valve is dilated and compressed.
- a rim of diseased tissue e.g., the compressed native valve
- the devices and methods will preferably facilitate the access, resection, repair, implantation, and/or replacement of the diseased cardiac structure (e.g., one or more diseased heart valves) .
- the devices and methods should preferably minimize the number of arterial and venous penetrations required during the closed-chest procedures, and desirably, should require no more than one cardiac and one femoral arterial penetration. The present invention satisfies these and other needs.
- antegrade and retrograde mean in the direction of blood flow and opposite the direction of blood flow, respectively, when used herein in relation to the patient's vasculature.
- antegrade refers to the downstream direction (i.e., the same direction as the physiological blood flow)
- retrograde refers to the upstream direction (i.e., opposite the direction of the physiological blood flow)
- proximal and distal when used herein in relation to instruments used in the procedure, refer to directions closer to and farther away from the heart, respectively.
- replacement normally signifies removal of the diseased valve and implantation of a new valve. However, a new valve may also be implanted directly over top of a diseased valve. An implantation procedure would be the same as a replacement procedure without the removal of the diseased valve.
- the present invention is directed to a method and system for an endovascular, endocardiac, or endoluminal approach to a patient ' s heart to perform an operation that does not require an extracorporeal cardiopulmonary bypass circuit and that .can be performed through a limited number of small incisions, thus eliminating the need for a sternotomy.
- the invention contemplates, at least in its preferred embodiments, the possibility of effective aortic valve implantation, aortic valve repair, resection of the aortic valve and replacement of the aortic valve, all without necessitating extracorporeal cardiopulmonary by-pass, a median sternotomy or other grossly thoracic incisions.
- valves are implanted transapically (i.e., through the heart muscle at its Left or right ventricular apex) .
- replacement of the mitral and tricuspid valves may be performed via a retrograde approach, because accessing these valves via the left or right ventricles requires approaching these valves against the flow of blood through the valve.
- a surgeon may perform a minimally invasive operation on a patient that includes accessing the patient'S' heart and installing an access device in a wall of the heart that has means for preventing bleeding through the access device.
- a new heart valve may be implanted via the access device.
- the surgeon can also resect a diseased native heart valve.
- the surgeon may also repair an aortic dissection using such a procedure.
- the surgeon may also choose to repair a damaged heart valve using similar- techniques.
- the access device described may be preferably installed in the ventricular apex of the heart.
- Surgical methods in accordance with the present invention may also include resecting a diseased heart valve percutaneously, while installing the new heart valve transapically.
- a surgeon may resect a diseased valve transapically and implant.a new valve percutaneously.
- both removal and implantation could be performed transapically.
- the new heart valve is preferably implanted by radially expanding the heart valve. .
- the radial expansion occurs in multiple stages that may be effectuated by a multi-stage balloon.
- the implantation device may include a mechanism to pull the leaflets of a native valve downward while the new valve is installed within the native valve.
- a device for resecting a diseased heart valve in accordance with the present invention may include a first set of annularly enlargeable componentry having a first longitudinal axis and a proximal cutting edge and a second set of annularly enlargeable componentry having a second longitudinal axis and a distal cutting edge.
- the device resects the diseased heart valve when the first set of componentry is enlarged on a distal side of the diseased heart valve and the second set of componentry is enlarged on a proximal side of the diseased heart valve and the sets of componentry are drawn axially together along the longitudinal axes.
- the first and second sets of annularly enlargeable componentry may be coaxial.
- blood flow through the surgical devices placed in the patient may be supplemented with artificial devices such as ventricular assist devices.
- the surgical site may be visualized with direct optical technology.
- transparent oxygen-carrying fluid may be injected into a portion of the circulatory system of a patient, and an optical device may be inserted into the transparent fluid to transmit images of the surgi-cal- site.
- all blood of a patient's circulatory system may be temporarily exchanged with the transparent oxygen-carrying fluid.
- Instrumentation for accessing a chamber of a patient's heart may include a catheter having a proximal sealing device for sealing the catheter against a proximal surface of the myocardium.
- the instrumentation may also include means for preventing bleeding through the catheter.
- the instrumentation includes a distal sealing device for sealing the catheter against the distal surface of the myocardium.
- an implantable heart valve may include a tissue support structure and tissue valve leaflets that are grown inside the tissue support structure by genetic engineering.
- the genetically engineered leaflets may grow inside a stainless steel stent, a nitinol stent, or any other suitable tissue support structure.
- Low- profile heart valves may also be used that include at least three leaflets. One side of each leaflet overlaps a neighboring leaflet such that the leaflets open sequentially and close sequentially.
- Replacement heart valves may also be used that correct overly- dilated heart valve annuluses.
- Such a heart valve may include an inner circumference defined by the leaflets of the heart valve and an outer circumference defined by the outer limits of a fluid-tight diaphragm.
- the diaphragm fills the space between the inner circumference and the outer circumference.
- Surgeons may be aided by a device for inserting more than one guidewire into a patient.
- a device for inserting more than one guidewire into a patient includes an annular wire placement device and one or more guidewires removably attached to the annular wire placement device.
- the annular wire placement device is configured to track an already placed guidewire.
- calcification of a heart valve may be broken down by inserting a catheter-based ultrasound device into a calcified heart valve and concentrating ultrasound radiation on the calcification of the calcified heart valve to break down the calcification.
- Such a procedure may be enhanced by inserting a reflector into the calcified heart valve to magnify the ultrasound radiation.
- a mitral valve repair device in accordance, with the present invention may include a first head defining an operating plane and a second head operably attached to the first head.
- the second head is configured to displace a leaflet with respect to the operating plane.
- the first head may be U-shaped and include an attachment mechanism for attaching at least two portions of a mitral valve leaflet.
- the repair device includes a handle for operating the second head with respect to the first head.
- aortic dissections may be repaired by accessing a patient ' s heart and placing an access device in a wall of the heart that prevents bleeding through the access device.
- a dissection repair device is inserted through the access device to repair the aortic dissection.
- the device may include annularly enlargeable componentry configured to be inserted into the patient ' s aorta and means for closing a void created by the aortic dissection.
- the void can be closed by injecting a biologically compatible glue (e.g., fibrin, thrombin, or any other suitable chemical or biological substance) through needles into the void. It may also be closed using mechanical sutures or surgical staples, for example.
- a biologically compatible glue e.g., fibrin, thrombin, or any other suitable chemical or biological substance

- a 5-10 cm incision at any one of these sites may allow the surgeon to perform the entire procedure through one access site. However, alternatively, the surgeon may prefer to use an endoscopic technique wherein he or she may utilize 1-3 cm incisions at multiple sites to insert various instruments.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the four chambers, of heart 10: right atrium 24, left atrium 25,- left ventricle 26, and right ventricle 27.
- FIG. 2 ⁇ also shows the four valves of heart 10: aortic valve 20, • ⁇ mitral valve 21, pulmonary valve 22, and tricuspid valve 23. Ascending. aorta 28 and descending aorta 29 are also illustrated.
- a procedure to replace aortic valve 20 may require a left thoracotomy and a left transapical incision to the heart muscle. .
- a procedure to replace pulmonary valve 22 may require a right thoracotomy and a right transapical incision to the heart muscle.
- Direct access may be made via incisions to right and left atria 24 and 25 as well to enable antegrade approaches to tricuspid valve 23 and mitral valve 21.
- the- procedure may be used for antegrade and retrograde repair to any of a patient's heart valves, the following illustrative procedure relates to the resection and antegrade replacement of aortic valve 20. It should be understood that the resection steps may be skipped in the following procedure, and a replacement valve may alternatively be placed concentrically within the diseased valve.
- the surgeon may also desire endoluminal (e.g., percutaneous) access sites, preferably via the patient's femoral vein or artery.
- a femoral vein access site may be used to place ultrasound equipment 34 inside the patient's right atrium adjacent aortic valve 20 and sino-tubular junction 36, as shown in FIG. 3.
- Ultrasound equipment 34 may, for example, be an AcuNavTM Diagnostic Ultrasound Catheter. Ultrasound equipment 34 could also be placed via the internal jugular vein (IJV) .
- Placement of ultrasound equipment 34 via a femoral or iliac access site versus an, IJV site may reverse the orientation of ultrasound equipment 34 (i.e., from which direction ultxasound equipment 34 enters the patient's right atrium) .
- a surgeon may choose to use esophageal visualization technology such as, for example, TransEsophageal Echo ("TEE") to provide an image of the target valve -—replacement site.
- TEE TransEsophageal Echo
- pericardium 30 After accessing the heart muscle via.one or more thoracotomies described above, an incision is made to pericardium 30 at access site 32. Next, myocardium 40 is punctured with needle 42 or other suitable device to gain access, to the inner heart structures (in this case, left ventricle 26) , as. illustrated in FIG. 4. Guidewire 44. is fed into left . ventricle 26 in antegrade direction .46. Following the direction of blood flow, guidewire 44 is advanced through aortic valve 20 and into aorta 28. Guidewire 44 may be further advanced into the iliac, or femoral arteries.
- a wire with a snare loop may be advanced from the femoral .endoluminal access site to-retrieve guidewire 44 and pull.it out . the femoral endoluminal access site. This enables • guidewire 44 to pass through the patient's vasculature from transapical access site 17 to the femoral endoluminal access site.
- Guidewire 44 may be a relatively thin and flexible guidewire. In order to provide sturdier support for the exchange of surgical tools, it may be desirable to replace guidewire 44 with a stiffer guidewire. This is accomplished by passing catheter 50 over guidewire 44, removing guidewire 44 from the patient while catheter 50 holds its place, and inserting a stiffer guidewire, as shown by FIG. 5. Once the stiffer guidewire has been passed through catheter 50, catheter 50 can be removed, leaving the stiffer guidewire in place. A guidewire that is externalized from the patient at both -ends (i.e., at the transapical site and the femoral endoluminal access site) would allow bi-directional use. Wire-guided devices could be inserted from both ends, allowing the insertion of wire-guided devices from the antegrade and retrograde directions.
- multiple guidewires may be placed to provide access for more surgical devices. Using multiple guidewires may provide advantages such as allowing two devices to be placed next to each other (e.g., intravascular ultrasound could be operated next to valve deployment devices) .
- Multiple guidewires may be placed simultaneously as shown in FIGS. 19 and 19A.
- Guidewire 198 is the already placed initial guidewire (e.g., guidewire 66 of FIG. 6) .
- Wire placement device 190 or 195 glides over guidewire 198 via hollow opening 191 or 197.
- Additional guidewires 192, 194, and 196 are attached to wire placement device 190 such that all three additional wires are placed at one time.
- Additional guidewire 193 is attached to wire placement device 195.
- wire placement device 190 or 195 Any number of guidewires can be attached to wire placement device 190 or 195 so that the desired number of additional guidewires can be simultaneously ⁇ ⁇ placed.
- Wire placement device 190 or 195 may be broken-off or cut away from the additional guidewires once they have been placed through the body.
- wire placement devices 190 and 195 may incorporate locking mechanisms. Thus, if the additional guidewires are not to be passed all the way through the body such that they emerge at a second end, the wires can be clamped in place (e.g., wire placement devices 190 and 195 may clamp to the initially placed guidewire to hold the additional guidewires in place) .
- a dilator (not shown) may be advanced over stiffer guidewire 66 (FIG.
- Access device 60 can be placed. Access device 60 will provide an access port to the surgical site inside left ventricle 26, while preventing the heart chamber from bleeding out. Access device 60 (shown in FIG. 6) allows for easy and rapid insertion of tools, devices, instruments, wires/ catheters and delivery systems that will enable the repair or resection of a diseased heart valve or the implantation or replacement of a new heart valve.
- a second access device or introducer may be placed inside the distal artery (e.g., the femoral artery at the endoluminal access site) .
- additional guidewires may be placed from the endoluminal access site. One or more additional guidewires may be placed using the. piggy-back approach described in more detail above.
- Access device 60 may include catheter.64 with distal balloon 61 and proximal balloon 62. Balloons 61 and 62 may sandwich myocardium 40 to prevent bleeding from left ventricle 26. Access device 60 may be anchored in other suitable ways, as long as left . . ventricle 26 is appropriately sealed to prevent bleeding, and such that blood flow through the coronary arteries is not occluded. Access device 60 also includes valve 63. Valve 63 allows the . passage of guidewire 66 and the insertion of surgical tools. while preventing bleeding through catheter 64. Valve 63 may be mechanically operable as an iris diaphragm (e.g., like the aperture, of a lens) .
- an iris diaphragm e.g., like the aperture, of a lens
- valve 63 may be constructed of an elastic material with a small - central opening that is dilated by whatever equipment is inserted therethrough, but always maintains a fluid- tight seal with the inserted equipment.
- Valve 63 may ..compose any- fluid-tight valve structure.
- Access device 60 can include one or multiple valve-like structures, like valve.63. Multiple valves in series may act as added protection against leakage from the heart chamber. Furthermore, because of the potential for leakage around multiple tools, access . device 60 may include multiple valves in parallel . Thus, -each tool could be inserted through its own valve. This could ensure that a proper seal is created around each tool being used during the operation. [0082] .
- various endovascular, endocardiac, and/or endoluminal visualization aids may be used. Such devices are • illustrated in PIG. 7. Additionally, extracorporeal X- ray based radiographic devices may be employed.
- intracardiac ultrasound 34 is placed in the right atrium via a femoral vein
- intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) 70 is placed over guidewire 66 and into a heart chamber or into the diseased valve. External fluoroscopy is also utilized to map and. visualize the surgical site. . . .
- IVUS 70 may be used to locate aortic valve 20, s.ino-tubular junction 36, and brachio ⁇ cephalic trunk 72. In order to determine the precise location of each, IVUS probe 70 's location is simultaneously tracked with AcuNavTM 34 and fluoroscopy. Once each landmark is located, a. radioopaque marker may be placed on the patient's skin or the heart's surface so that extracorporeal fluoroscopy can later be used .to relocate these points without IVUS 70 taking up space inside the surgical site. The end of the native leaflet in systole may also be marked with a radioopaque marker in order to temporarily define, the target zone. This technique requires that the patient and the fluoroscopy equipment not be moved during the.
- radioopaque markers placed on the patient's skin outside the body or on the beating heart 's surface. It may be desirable to place the radioopaque markers directly on the heart and aorta.
- IVUS 70, AcuNavTM 34, and the fluoroscopy equipment can also be used to take measurements of the diseased valve. This allows the surgeon to chose a properly sized replacement heart valve.
- a surgeon may choose ⁇ to use standard dye visualization techniques such .as angiography. Although it would create material . limitations for manufacturing the replacement heart , valve, MRI technology could be used as an alternative means of visualizing the target surgical site. Additionally, with the development of cameras that can see through blood, direct optical technology could be used to create an image of the target site. Real-time three-dimensional construction of .ultrasound data is... another visualization procedure that is currently under development that could provide a suitable alternative.
- a clear liquid could be introduced to the aorta or other components of the circulatory system near, the target surgical site. Placing a clear liquid that is capable - of carrying oxygen (i.e., capable of carrying on the blood's biological function, temporarily) in the patient's circulatory system would improve the ability to use direct optical imaging. Furthermore, because the heart is beating, the patient could be transfused with the clear oxygen-carrying fluid for the duration, of the procedure so that, direct optical visualization is enabled throughout the procedure. The patient's regular blood*would be retransfus . ed at the conclusion of the procedure.
- Another option for a direct visualization technique includes placing a transparent balloon (filled- with a transparent fluid such as water) in front of the camera.
- the camera and liquid-filled balloon are pushed against the surface that the surgeon- wishes to view.
- the transparent balloon displaces blood from the camera's line of sight such that an image of what the camera sees through the balloon is transmitted to the surgeon.
- the invention may include the placement of embolic protection device 80 in the ascending aorta by means of a catheter, as shown in FIG. 8.
- Embolic protection device 80 is preferably placed from the endoluminal femoral access site in a retrograde approach to the aortic valve site.
- Embolic protection device 80 may comprise a filtering mesh or net. made from any suitable material...

- embolic protection device 80 may be replaced with multiple embolic .
- FIG. 9 each of coronary sinuses .82 and 84 is protected by its own embolic protection device (embolic protection devices 92 and 94, respectively), and aorta 28 is protected by embolic protection device 90.
- Embolic protection devices 92 and 94 may be placed further into the coronary arteries to keep the surgical site inside the aorta as clear as possible.
- Embolic protection device 80 of PIG. 8 is designed ⁇ o that proper placement of the single protection device will prevent the flow of embolic material into any of aorta 28 and coronary sinuses 82 and 84.
- the embolic protection device may be placed : in an antegrade approach.
- FIG. 10 shows embolic protection devices 92' and 94' having been inserted in the antegrade direction. Placing devices 92 ' and 94 ' in the coronary sinuses from the antegrade direction leaves guidewires 101 and 102 to .. . exit the patient, at the thoracotomy access site. Coronary sinuses 82 and 84 provide useful landmarks in placing a new aortic valve..
- the surgeon is provided with a guide to proper placement of the new valve (i.e., guidewires 101 and 102 which terminate at coronary sinuses 82 and 84) .
- the new valve may be inserted in the antegrade direction along guidewires 101 and 102 to ensure proper placement.
- embolic filters may be placed in the brachiocephalic, left common carotid, and left subclavian arteries of the aortic ar-ch. . ..
- Some embodiments of the present invention may employ a valve-tipped catheter or other temporary valve device that is capable of temporarily replacing the native valve function during and after resection or removal until the new valve is deployed and functional.
- Such temporary valve devices may be placed in any number of acceptable locations. For example, when replacing the aortic valve's function, it may be preferable to place the temporary valve in .the ascending aorta just distal to the native aortic valve. However, it is possible to temporarily replace the aortic valve function with a device placed in the descending aorta. Such a placement may have the disadvantage of causing the- heart to work harder,- but such placements have been proven acceptable in previous surgical procedures. . ._ ⁇ ' ⁇ . . -.
- some embodiments of the present invention may include the use.of a percutaneousIy placed small caliber blood pump containing an impellor (e.g., a VAD (Ventricular Assist Device)) .
- the VAD may be inserted in a retrograde or in an antegrade direction over guidewire 66.
- the VAD - may be inserted over a secondary guidewire. Because of the resection and implantation equipment that will be inserted in the antegrade direction, it may be . . desirable to place the VAD in a retrograde approach from the percutaneous femoral access site.
- ⁇ other temporary pump device will be used to support .the heart's natural function while the native valve is being resected or repaired.
- the temporary assistance device will remain in place until the new valve is deployed and functional.

- Resector tip 228 may also be mechanically operable to snip away the diseased leaflets.
- Resector 220 is also operable via access device 60.
- Other suitable techniques for resecting a diseased valve may also be used before implanting a-new valve.
- plaque or calcification of a diseased valve may be chemically dissolved.
- embolic protection devices 90,. 92, and 94 in place, a chemical can be introduced to the diseased valve that will dissolve or release the plaque deposits.
- the target valve site may first be isolated to contain the chemical during this process. This isolation may be ⁇ achieved by inflating two balloons to .create a chemical ablation chamber defined by the wall of the aorta and the two balloons.
- Isolation may also be achieved by a device like ablation chamber 360 shown in FIG. 36.
- Ablation chamber 360 is positioned inside the patient's vasculature (e.g., aorta 3-62) .. The chamber may be placed percutaneously, by direct access, or by any other suitable technique.
- Ablation chamber.360 comprises ring-shaped balloons 361 and 363. Balloons 361 and 363 are joined by tubular member.367 .. which creates a channel for.blood to by-pass the ablation site.

- valve delivery device 142 may also be guided by guidewires 101 and 102 to ensure safe orientation of valve 140 prior to release and deployment. Such a delivery approach would eliminate the danger of coronary obstruction, because guidewires 101 and 102 terminate at coronary sinuses 82 and. 84. The spaces between the commissure supports of valve 140 ⁇ :ould be properly aligned with coronary sinuses 82 and 84 to allow maximum blood flow to the coronary arteries.

With the coronaries being visualized with fluoroscopy, the surgeon could visualize the alignment of the two marker bands. on delivery device 142. Thus, the surgeon would . be able , to. properly orient the valve such that the commissure posts are properly positioned upon valve deployment.
- Valve delivery device 142 may terminate in two phase balloon 150, as shown in FIG. .15. Alternatively, the end of device 142 carrying valve 140 may have two separately operable balloons. The . first phase of balloon 150 may be inflated to provide a positioning guide for valve 140.
- the first phase of balloon 150 provides a bumper such that delivery device 142 is prevented from further advancement when the proximal end of balloon 150 (i.e., the first phase of balloon 150) reaches the region of left, ventricle 26 just proximal to the aortic valve site.
- the proximal end of balloon 150 i.e., the first phase of balloon 150

- the location and function of new valve-140 are. identified and monitored with IVUS, . intracardiac ultrasound, and/or fluoroscopy. Once placement and function is satisfactory to the surgeon, balloon 150 is deflated, and valve -delivery device 142 is removed from left ventricle 26.
- the implantation process should be done quickly, because there will be a brief total occlusion , : of the aorta. It may be desirable to block the inflow to the heart.
- Valve delivery device 142 may be designed to draw the native leaflets downward when a new valve is ⁇ being implanted over top of an existing diseased valve. The native leaflets could obstruct blood flow to the coronary arteries.

- valve 140 may not have a stent-like support structure at the distal end (i.e., stent-like structure 152) . If commissure supports 158 are constructed from or supported by a stiff enough support post, valve 140 may not be fixed to the aorta at its distal end. The mounting at base ring 154 may sufficiently secure valve 140 in place to function normally and not obstruct blood flow to the. coronary arteries.
- Valve 140 may be secured in place by any . ⁇ suitable method.for anchoring tissue within the body. - The radial expansion forces of base ring 154 may be strong enough to secure valve 140 against dislodgment by radial strength alone. If no native valve rim remains, hooks 156 may be designed-to grasp aortic wall 151. Mechanically placed sutures or staples could be used to secure valve 140 in place. Furthermore, biocompatible glue could be used to secure valve 140 in the appropriate position.

- the valve leaflets may be composed of homograph valve tissue, animal tissue, valve rebuild material, pericardium, synthetics, or alloys, such as a thin nitinol mesh. - . .
- Implantable valves in accordance with the principles of the present invention may be drug eluding to prevent restenosis by inhibiting cellular division or by preventing reapposition of calcium.
- the drug may act as an active barrier that prevents the formation of calcium on the valve. Additionally,, the drug may stimulate healing of the new valve with the aorta.
- the implantable valves are preferably- treated to resist calcification.
- the support elements of the implantable valve may be exterior to the valve, (e.g., between the new valve tissue and the aorta wall) , interior to the valve (e.g., valve tissue is between the support elements and the aorta wall) , -or.. may form 1 an endoskeleton of the valve (e.-g., support elements of the valve may be within the tissue of the implantable valve) . ..
- FIGS. 24-26 illustrate new valves that could be used for replacement or implantation procedures in accordance with the -principles of the present invention.
- Valve 240 of FIG. 24 has sinusoidal ⁇ attachment member 241 encircling the base of commissure, posts 242, 243, and 244.
- Attachment member 241 may be any radially compressible and expandable member.
- Member 241 of FIG. 24_ has proximal peaks 245 and distal peaks 246 which may be turned outward. Peaks 245 and 246 may be better suited to engage the wall of the aorta when the peaks are turned outward. Peaks 245... . and 246 may also be pointed or sharpened so that they, penetrate the aorta wall.
- Valve 240 may have distal mounting ring 248 in some embodiments. Ring 248 may engage the distal portion of the sino-tubular junction. Ring 248 may . have segments 249 that are biased radially outward so., as to more securely engage the inner wall of the aorta.
- the replacement valve may be designed to mimic the natural curvature of the sino-tubular junction. This curvature- creates a natural, bulge, in which the replacement valve may be able. to. secure itself against dislodgement. . • ..
- Valve 250 of FIG. 25 shows tissue 252 inside stent frame 254.
- Tissue 252 which forms. the leaflets of the implantable valve may be engineered and/or grown directly inside of stent frame 254.
- tissue 25 ⁇ 2 may be glued or sutured to stent frame 254.
- Stent frame 252 may incorporate peaks that are turned outward that may have pointed or sharpened tips. like, those described with respect to valve -240 of .EIG. 24.
- ring 256 may have hook features such as hooks 15.6 of FIG. 15.
- Stent frame 252 may be constructed from a shape memory or other self-expanding material...
- stent frame 252 may be constructed from stainless steel or other materials that are balloon expanded or mechanically expanded.

- Valve 260 is illustratively shown with five leaflets (i.e., leaflets 261, 262, 263, 264. and 265) .
- the leaflets overlap one another in a domino-type ⁇ arrangement.
- Leaflet 265 is the top-most leaflet, overlapping the left side of leaflet 264..
- the right side of leaflet 264 overlaps the left side- of leaflet 263, and so on with leaflet 261 being -the bottom-most leaflet.
- the leaflets may be arranged such that they overlap one another in a clockwise or.a counterclockwise fashion.
- Valve 260 may appear to open like the iris of a camera when viewed from the top (as shown in FIG. 26) .
- the leaflets actually rise out of the plane of the valve annulus. However, because of the valve's very low profile, no commissure supports- are needed.
- spiral, or rolled valves may : be used in the implantation or replacement procedure. Such valves unwind instead of being.radialIy expanded. Rolled valves are reduced in diameter for percutaneous or..minimally invasive implantation by rolling, the valve material into a spiral. _ . : _ ⁇
- the new valve may be designed to be exchangeable. Many replacement heart valves have a lif-e expectancy of 10-20 years. Therefore, many patients will require follow-up valve replacements. Certain structural components of the heart valve (e.g., the -base ring, hooks, etc.) could be permanent, while the tissue leaflets may be exchangeable. It may be preferable to simply dilate the old valve with the new valve.. [0135] .
- a valve implantation procedure may.take place "off-pump, " but the patient's heart may be temporarily arrested. The patient's heart is stopped using fibrillation. A surgeon will have just under three minutes to perform the surgical procedure without, risking harm to the patient. However, the anesthetized patient could be cooled to provide the surgeon with more, time without increasing the risk for brain damage.
- Repair tool 280 may have U-shaped head 282 and single-pronged head 284. Heads 282 and 284 may be operably attached ' by hinge 288.
- posterior leaflet 290 FIG. 29
- handles 283. and 285 can be squeezed together to cause a portion of posterior leaflet 290 to be 'drawn downward.
- attachment tool 286 can deploy connector 3 ⁇ D ⁇ (FIG.
- Aortic dissection is another defect that may be repaired via transapical access to the heart. Aortic dissection occurs from a tear or damage to the inner wall of the aorta. Aortic dissection may be caused by traumatic injury or connective tissue diseases such as Marfan syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, for example " . Aortic dissection may result in atherosclerosis or high blood pressure. As shown in FIG. 31, aortic dissection 318 may result in void " 319.
- Aortic dissection repair device 310 may be tra : nsapically inserted into a patient via access device 311 (substantially similar to access device 60 of FIG. 6) .
- Repair device 310 may include balloon 312 and catheter 314 and may be guided by guidewire 316.
- catheter 314 may include several lumens (e.g., a balloon inflation lumen, a guidewire lumen, and a glue delivery lumen) .
- balloon 312 may be inflated as shown in FIG. 32.
- the inflation of balloon 312 may cause needles 320 to penetrate aortic dissection 318 such that the tips of needles 320 are exposed to void 319.
- a biologically compatible glue may be injected through needles 320 via the glue delivery lumen (not shown) of catheter 314. Further inflation of balloon 312 may ensure that dissection 31.8 is securely affixed to the aorta wall-by the biologically compatible glue.
- dye may first be injected through select channels (i.e., needles 320) . This will.allow a. surgeon to determine if injected glue would only end up in the desired locations.
- Repair device 310 may than be rotated to align the : needles that will inject the biologically compatible glue with void 319.
- the needles that will be. used to inject the glue may be selectable so that the surgeon activates, only the needles " aligned with.void 319..
- balloon 312 may be doughnut-shaped to allow blood to pass, like balloon 330 of FIG. 33.
- balloon 330 may include VAD device 332 to pump blood from the proximal side of balloon 330 (at inlet ports 334) to the distal side of balloon 330 (at outlet ports 336) .
- the repair device may still include needles 338.
- the aortic dissection repair procedure may be monitored with any of the visualization equipment discussed in more detail above. Once the aortic dissection has been repaired, balloon 312 or -330 may be deflated, and repair device 310 is removed from the patient.
- Left ventricular aneurysms are another- deformity of the heart that may be treated transapieally.
- the heart muscle in the area of a- blood vessel blockage can die' over time.
- the healing-process may form a scar that could thin an ⁇ stretch to -form a. . ventricular aneurysm.
- Such aneurysms may be repaired, as described below. . . .
- Left ventricular aneurysm .340 may form in left ventricle 341 of a patient/ as shown in FIG..34. - .. Because aneurysm 340 can cause the heart to work harder over time and result in eventual heart failure, the aneurysm ⁇ should be treated.
- Aneurysm repair device 336. may be inserted through access device 344 .
- Repair device 346 may include liquid filled bol-ster 342 that is mounted inside left ventricular aneurysm 340.
- Bolster 342 may be mounted with a biologically compatible glue, by mechanical means, or by any other_ suitable mounting technique. - .
- S aneurysm 340 may be repaired by pulling the ends of aneurysm 340 together, as depicted by FIG. 35.
- aneurysm repair device 350 may be used to deploy hooks 352 and 354. Hooks 352 and 354 may -grasp the interior of the heart at the extremes of the aneurysm and then draw the aneurysm closed. Once the aneurysm has been drawn together, any suitable technique can be used to secure the aneurysm in the closed position (e.g., biologically compatible glue, surgical staples, mechanically placed sutures, etc.) Once the aneurysm has been fully sealed-, -repair . -..- : device 350 may be withdrawn from the patient.
- endoprostheses may be placed percutaneousIy, transapically, or via any combination of surgical approaches.
- Endoprostheses may be placed in the ascending aorta that have arms, capable of extending ⁇ into the coronary arteries.
- Endoprostheses for the ascending aorta could also include a replacement valve or a valved stent.
- Endoprostheses for the descending aorta could also be placed ' transapi-cally or . . . . percutaneously, for example, to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm. . .
- endoprostheses may be placed, in the aortic arch. • One embodiment of an endoprosthesis, for the aortic arch is shown in FI-G.. 40.
- Endoprosthesis 402 may be placed in aortic arch 400.
- endoprosthesis 402 may. include .arms 403, 405, and 407 that extend into brachiocephalic . ... artery 404, left common carotid artery 406,. and left subclavian artery 408, respectively..
- Guidewire 410 may pass through the body of endoprosthesis 402, while guidewires 412, 414, and 416 may pass through holes 403', 4O5 ' , and 4-07 ' of the -ends of arms 403, 405, and 407, respectively.
- arms 403, 405, and 407 may be extended to a position substantially perpendicular to the. body of endoprostheses 402.
- small catheters, or other pushing devices may be inserted over guidewires 412, .414, and 416 to manipulate ⁇ e.g., push) the arms of the endoprosthesis.
- the arms and body of . . • endoprosthesis 402 may be radially expanded once the. endoprosthesis is properly positioned.
- ventricular arrhythmias are . .. percutaneousl-y repaired with radio frequency, cold, heat, or microwave that is applied to the offending tissue to destroy the source of the arrhythmia.
- Ventricular arrhythmias could be- repaired transapically in accordance with " the principles of the present invention.
- Radio frequency, cold, heat, or microwave devices can be introduced through an access device like access device 60 of .FIG. 6. . :
- Hypertrophic obstructions i.e.-, obstructions distal to a heart valve
- an obstruction proximal to a heart valve may also be treated transapically.
- Devices such as those described above to resect a diseased valve could.be inserted transapically to cut away the hypertrophic or subvalvular obstruction.
- the extra tissue could be removed from the heart in the same way that the diseased valve is resected and removed.
- Robotic technology similar to that currently - used in operating rooms could be used to perform some of the steps of the heart valve removal and r-epla ⁇ ement or implantation procedure. For example, it may be - desirable to have a robot perform the delicate- - resection procedure via the access device. Furthermore, a robot could. exercise precision in rotating and positioning the replacement valve. with proper alignment of the commissure posts.
- visualization equipment and techniques are used for observation of the apparatus inside the patient may vary. Many surgical repair procedures can be performed on or near the heart in accordance with the principles of the present invention... .
