Transcatheter Heart Valve with Multi-Arm Mechanism	Reduced flow stasis: This mechanism displaces the native valve leaflets away from the THV stent frame, essentially removing its “cover” and allowing blood to move freely through the open stent cells. This can help to significantly reduce flow stasis in the neo-sinus region, thereby reducing thrombus initiation/progression. Prevention of coronary artery obstruction: Coronary artery obstruction following TAVR is a rare but often fatal complication. In rare cases in patients with unusually large native leaflets or small aortic roots, the large leaflets block the flow of blood to the coronary arteries as the new valve’s scaffolding opens. Georgia Tech’s design displaces the native valve leaflets away from the THV stent frame, which can help to reduce this risk. Optimized THV deployment: The innovation offers dual feedback to aid clinicians in determining optimal THV deployment height—a key factor in optimizing patient outcomes. As the device’s “arms” extend against the native vessel wall, they create both tactile feedback during THV positioning as well as visual feedback via fluoroscopy. In addition to deployment height, the multi-arm design supports axial alignment of the THV with respect to the native vessel wall—a factor shown to impact valve performance.	8140
Tissue-Selective Anticancer Agents	Tissue-targeted activity: Appended macrocyclic skeletons provide selective tissue distribution. Potent: HDAC inhibitors display stronger in vivo anticancer activity against solid tumors compared to current technology.
