Abstract: Disclosed is a closure catheter, for patching or closing a tissue opening such as an atrial septal defect, patent foreman ovale, or the left atrial appendage of the heart. The closure catheter carries a deployable patch (126) and a plurality of tissue anchors (90), which may be deployed to secure the patch to surrounding tissue. The plurality of tissue anchors of the closure catheter may be deployed into tissue surrounding the opening, and used to draw the tissue radially inwardly, to close the body cavity or opening. Methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention is an occlusion device (10) for use in a body lumen such as the left atrial appendage (31). The occlusion device includes an occlusion member (11), and may also include a stabilizing member (12). The stabilizing member inhibits compression of the left atrial appendage, facilitating tissue ingrowth onto the occlusion member. The method of making the device includes forming a plurality of slots in a tube, the slots creating radially outwardly biased longitudinal elements (228). A membrane barrier (15) is then attached to the elements.
