The LuX-Valve (Ningbo Jenscare Biotechnology, Ningbo, China) is self-expandable. The stent is made of a nickel–titanium alloy and the biological leaflet is bovine pericardium. The bio-prosthesis is implanted via the right atrial approach and fixed in the tricuspid annulus with its own unique anchoring device, independent of the radial support force. The part of the prosthesis located in the right atrium also prevents paravalvular leakage. (A) Right atrial view of the LuX-Valve. The four parts of the LuX-Valve stent include (a) the interventricular anchor, (b) two graspers, (c) the annulus skirt, and (d) the right atrial disc. (B) Lateral view of the LuX-Valve. (C) The delivery system of the LuX-Valve.
