Abstract

Medical devices that can be delivered in a first, flexible configuration and subsequently locked into a second, rigid configuration are provided. The device comprises an elongate body having a plurality of slots openings along a bending portion of the body. Using a tension member to shorten the distance between two points along the elongate body causes the device to curve. The device can be locked into the curved configuration.

Claims (34)

1. A medical device, comprising:

an elongate body having a first configuration and a second configuration, the second configuration having a different shape from the first configuration;

a plurality of openings on the elongate body configured to allow the elongate body to change shape from the first configuration to the second configuration;

a shuttle axially moveable within the elongate body;

a tension member extending distally from the shuttle and connecting the shuttle to a distal portion of the elongate body;

a pull member extending proximally from the shuttle, wherein pulling the shuttle proximally along the elongate body with the pull member causes the elongate body to transition from the first configuration to the second configuration; and

a locking mechanism configured to hold the shuttle in a proximally pulled position to lock the elongate body in the second configuration.

2. The medical device of claim 1 , wherein the elongate body is flexible in the first configuration and rigid in the second configuration.

3. The medical device of claim 1 , wherein the elongate body is configured to be connected to an end of a catheter.

4. The medical device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of openings extend from a spine portion of the elongate body.

5. The medical device of claim 4 , wherein the spine portion curves around at least a portion of the elongate body.

6. The medical device of claim 4 , wherein a width of the openings changes between the first configuration and the second configuration.

7. The medical device of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism comprises a pin attached to the shuttle that is positioned in and configured to slide along a track extending along a length of the elongate body.

8. The medical device of claim 1 , wherein the elongate body further comprises a release window configured to allow disengagement of the pull member from the shuttle.

9. The medical device of claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism is disposed within the elongate body.

10. The medical device of claim 1 , wherein the tension member is configured to elongate when the shuttle moves proximally away from the distal portion.

11. A method of advancing a medical device towards a target area, comprising:

advancing an elongate body towards the target area and out of a distal end of a delivery catheter;

manipulating a pull wire to move a shuttle axially within the elongate body to a first position to lock the elongate body into a first curved shape;

manipulating the pull wire to move the shuttle axially into a second position to lock the elongate body into a second curved shape at or near the target area, the second curved shape different from the first curved shape.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the second position is different from the first position.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first curved shape comprises a curve along a first portion of the elongate body, and wherein the second curved shape comprises a curve over a second portion of the elongate body, the second portion different from the first portion.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the second portion is larger than and encompasses the first portion.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first curved shape comprises a curve at a tip of the elongate body.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the target area comprises a native valve in a heart.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising advancing the elongate body from a first side of the native valve to a second side of the native valve.

18. The method of claim 16 , further comprising, after moving the medical device into the second curved shape, expanding at least a portion of an expandable valve prosthesis adjacent the native valve.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the elongate body comprises a plurality of openings extending from a spine portion of a wall of the device.

20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first curved shape is defined by a length of a tension member connecting the shuttle to a distal portion of the elongate member.

21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the length of the tension member is longer when the elongate member assumes the second curved shape.

22. A method of delivering a valve prosthesis anchor to a native valve, comprising:

advancing an elongate body in a flexible delivery configuration towards the native valve and out of a distal end of a delivery catheter;

manipulating a pull wire to move a shuttle axially along the elongate body to cause the elongate body to transition from the flexible delivery configuration to a rigid helical configuration such that the elongate body forms at least one coil around chordae of the native valve; and

locking a position of the shuttle within the elongate body to lock the elongate body in the rigid helical configuration around the chordae.
