    摘要: An implantable device includes a spacer member configured to be disposed between leaflets of a native heart valve that is located between a first chamber and a second chamber of the heart. The device further includes a plurality of anchor members coupled to the spacer member and configured to capture the leaflets such that the device is retained between the leaflets. The spacer member is configured to provide a flow path through the device between the first chamber and the second chamber when the leaflets are captured such that blood can flow regurgitatively from the second chamber to the first chamber through the spacer member.

    摘要: Apparatus for repairing a leaflet of a heart valve can include a leaflet-plicating tool that can include leaflet-capture arms and a helical needle. The needle can be operatively coupled to the leaflet-capture arms. The leaflet-capture arms can include an arm-shaft, each configured to house a leaflet-engaging member. The leaflet-capture arms can be configured to use the leaflet-engaging members, extended over the leaflet from the annulus toward a free edge of the leaflet, to form a plication in the leaflet of the heart valve between the leaflet-capture arms. The leaflet-plicating tool can be configured to secure the plication by using the helical needle to stitch a suture helically along the plication. Other embodiments are also described.

    摘要: An apparatus for repairing a heart valve can comprises a leaflet-plicating mechanism configured to plicate a leaflet of a heart valve and a helical needle comprising a plurality of coils. The needle can be configured to implant a suture to extend helically through plicated tissue of the heart valve. The leaflet-plicating mechanism can comprise first and second leaflet-capture arms, which can be configured to move toward and away from each other between an open position and closed position. The leaflet-capture arms can be configured to plicate the leaflet as the leaflet-capture arms are moved from the open position to the closed position.
