A patent application has been filed for a prosthetic cardiac valve device that aims to treat diseased native valves in the heart. The device includes a frame structure, a spiral anchor, and an image capture device. The spiral anchor is designed to anchor the frame structure to the native valve, and the image capture device confirms the placement of the anchor within the heart. The device addresses limitations of existing prosthetic valves and surgical procedures by offering a less invasive option with improved imaging capabilities. The patent application was filed by inventors from various locations in the United States. [Extracted from the article] |
