Abstract
Abstract A cardiovascular valve system including a permanent base unit that is affixed to the patient using conventional sutures or staples, and a collapsible valve having a collapsible frame that mates with the permanent base unit, and supports valve leaflets. An installed collapsible frame may be re-collapsed and disengaged from the permanent housing. A new collapsible valve is then installed, to resume the function of the prosthesis.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
207 words
A remote manipulation system for remotely manipulating an associated medical device that is movable between an expanded position and a collapsed position, the manipulation system comprising: (a) first manipulation means for minimally invasive or percutaneous collapse and withdrawal of the medical device, said first manipulation means including one or more first connection means for connecting to the medical device, said first manipulation means connecting with the medical device when said first manipulation means is in a first position, and said first manipulation means connecting with the medical device when said first manipulation means is in a second position, wherein said first manipulation means collapses the medical device when moved between the first position and the second position; and (b) second manipulation means for minimally invasive insertion and expansion of the medical device, said second manipulation means including one or more second connection means for connecting to the medical device, said second manipulation means connecting with the medical device when said second manipulation means is in a first position, and said second manipulation means connecting with the medical device when said second manipulation means is in a second position, wherein said second manipulation means expands the medical device when moved between the first position and the second position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
207 words
A remote manipulation system for remotely manipulating an associated medical device that is movable between an expanded position and a collapsed position, the manipulation system comprising: (a) first manipulation means for minimally invasive or percutaneous collapse and withdrawal of the medical device, said first manipulation means including one or more first connection means for connecting to the medical device, said first manipulation means connecting with the medical device when said first manipulation means is in a first position, and said first manipulation means connecting with the medical device when said first manipulation means is in a second position, wherein said first manipulation means collapses the medical device when moved between the first position and the second position; and (b) second manipulation means for minimally invasive insertion and expansion of the medical device, said second manipulation means including one or more second connection means for connecting to the medical device, said second manipulation means connecting with the medical device when said second manipulation means is in a first position, and said second manipulation means connecting with the medical device when said second manipulation means is in a second position, wherein said second manipulation means expands the medical device when moved between the first position and the second position.
