Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to prosthetic valves for replacing defective cardiovascular valves. More particularly, the present invention relates to two-piece prosthetic valves for replacing defective aortic, pulmonary, mitral, tricuspid and/or peripheral venous valves.
- the human heart has four valves that control blood flow circulating through the human body.
- the mitral valve located between the left atrium and the left ventricle
- the aortic valve located between the left ventricle and the aorta. Both of these valves direct oxygenated blood from the lungs into the aorta for distribution through the body.
- the peripheral venous system also includes a number of valves that prevent retrograde blood flow. By preventing retrograde blood flow, the valves found throughout the venous system assist the flow of blood through the veins and returning to the heart.
- the mitral valve has two leaflets and the tricuspid valve has at least two, preferably three leaflets.
- the aortic and pulmonary valves have normally at least two, preferably three leaflets, also often referred to as "cusps" because of their half-moon like appearance.
- Venous valves are usually of the bicuspid type, with each cusp or leaflet forming a reservoir for blood, which, under pressure, forces the free edges of the cusps together to permit mostly antegrade blood flow to the heart.
- venous blood flow is against gravity while a person is standing, incompetent or destroyed venous valves can cause significant medical problems in the legs, ankles, and feet.
- Valve diseases are typically classified into two major categories; stenosis and insufficiency. In the case of a stenosis, the native valve does not open properly, whereby insufficiency represents the opposite effect showing deficient closing properties.
- Insufficiency of the inlet (atrioventricular) tricuspid valve to the right ventricle of the heart results in regurgitation of blood back into the right atrium, which, serving to receive blood flow returning in the veins from the entire body, then results in turn in suffusion and swelling (edema) of all the organs, most notably in the abdomen and extremities, insufficient forward conduction of blood flow from the right ventricle into the lungs causing compromise of pulmonary function, and ultimately pump failure of the right heart.
- right heart failure a condition that leads to incapacity and possibly to death if progressive and uncorrected.
- This condition can affect the deep veins of the body , commonly the lower extremities or pelvis, or the superficial veins of the lower extremities in particular, leading to progressive expansion of the veins and further valvular incompetence, a condition known as varicose veins.
- Heart valve dysfunctions typically include reparation of the diseased heart valve with preservation of the patient's own valve or replacement of the valve with a mechanical or bioprosthetic valve (i.e. "tissue” valve), i.e. a prosthetic valve.
- tissue i.e. a mechanical or bioprosthetic valve
- aortic heart valve it is frequently necessary to introduce a heart valve replacement.
- a major drawback associated with most one-piece prosthetic valves is that the valves are typically sized and configured for replacement of a defined valve, i.e. aortic, pulmonary, mitral, tricuspid or peripheral venous valve.
- a sizable number of one-piece prosthetic valves must thus be produced to accommodate replacement of diseased or defective aortic, pulmonary, mitral, tricuspid or peripheral venous valves.
- bioprosthetic valves also requires a great deal of skill and concentration given the delicate nature of the native cardiovascular tissue and the spatial constraints of the surgical field. It is also critical to achieve a secure and reliable attachment of the valve to host cardiovascular tissue.
- the tissue valve includes a sewing ring that can be employed to suture the ends of the valve to the annulus of the cardiovascular vessel.
- the present invention is directed to two-piece prosthetic valves having first and second members, a first end of the first member being sized and configured to receive a second end of the second member therein, the second end of the second member being secured to the first member at at least one commissure connection point to form at least one leaflet therein.
- the second end of the second member is secured to the first member at two commissure connection points to form two leaflets therein.
- the second end of the second member is secured to the first member at three commissure connection points to form three leaflets therein.
- the first and second valve members comprise an extracellular matrix (ECM) material.

- the ECM material can also comprise collagen from mammalian sources.
- the ECM material can also be derived from basement membrane of mammalian tissue/organs, including, without limitation, urinary basement membrane (UBM), liver basement membrane (LBM), and amnion, chorion, allograft pericardium, allograft acellular dermis, amniotic membrane, Wharton's jelly, and combinations thereof.

- the ECM material can also be derived from other sources, including, without limitation, collagen from plant sources and synthesized extracellular matrices, i.e. cell cultures.
- the first and/or second valve members include at least one pharmacological agent, i.e. an agent that is capable of producing a desired biological effect in vivo, e.g., stimulation or suppression of cell division, stimulation or suppression of apoptosis, stimulation or suppression of an immune response, anti-bacterial activity, etc.
- pharmacological agent i.e. an agent that is capable of producing a desired biological effect in vivo, e.g., stimulation or suppression of cell division, stimulation or suppression of apoptosis, stimulation or suppression of an immune response, anti-bacterial activity, etc.
