Projectdetails

Introduction

The Mitral butterfly implant is a posterior leaflet augmentation device which functions to prevent excessive posterior leaflet motion.

Components of the Implant

The implant comprises three main components:

  1. Nitinol Frame: Designed to sit comfortably within the anatomy of the heart and to provide the overall structure of the implant.
  2. Artificial Leaflet: In the form of a flexible mesh, this component serves to restrict the prolapsing leaflet and provide a surface for adequate coaptation.
  3. Method of Anchoring: This is essential for securing the implant in place.

Delivery and Deployment

The implant can be folded into a catheter to facilitate delivery and be deployed in the target region with minimal actuation.

Self-Expansion and Orientation

The shape memory capabilities of nitinol allow the implant to self-expand when released. The design of the frame ensures the correct orientation within the valve. Consequently, the procedure involves minimal actuated steps, with the main mechanical complexity arising from the anchorage.

Anchorage Mechanism

The anchorage itself is achieved with a secondary self-expanding nitinol mechanism.
