Abstract: For repairing a valve situated between an atrium and a ventricle of a heart of a subject, and having a first leaflet and a second leaflet, apparatus is provided that includes an implant and a delivery tool. The implant includes a flexible patch defining slots along an edge of the patch; a first anchor; and a second anchor. The delivery tool is adapted to transluminally deliver the implant to the heart; and implant the implant in the ventricle by securing the patch against a ventricular surface of the first leaflet by anchoring the first anchor to the first leaflet, and against a ventricular surface of the second leaflet by anchoring the second anchor to the second leaflet, such that (i) chordae of the valve extend through the slots, and (ii) the patch bridges a gap between the first leaflet and the second leaflet. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Abstract: A device or implant is configured to be positioned within a native heart valve to allow the native heart valve to form a more effective seal. One or more portions of device or implant can expand and contract. For example, one or more portions of the device or implant can narrow during delivery and expand on implantation on the native heart valve. Delivery systems are configured to narrow and expand the one or more portions of the device or implant.
