    Abstract: A valve fixation device may comprise a unitary elongate member that is biased towards a closed configuration wherein at least a pair of tissue engaging surfaces of the elongate member are held adjacent to each other by a bias force. The bias force is at least equal to a valve leaflet grasping force, enabling the fixation device to grasp and retain leaflets as part of cardiac treatment. A delivery tool including a spreader may independently translate the tissue engaging surfaces to enable cardiac leaflets to be captured and retained by and/or between the tissue engaging surfaces. The valve fixation device may include at least two arms, each of which may be independently controlled to grasp and capture opposing leaflets of a valve, such as the anterior and posterior leaflets of a mitral valve, to reduce the size of the valve opening and improve cardiac performance.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to the field of medical devices for treating heart disease. In particular, the present disclosure relates to medical devices, systems, and methods for delivering artificial chordae tendineae in a patient. A system for delivering a chordae tendineae into a heart may include a delivery catheter. A clamp catheter may be configured to translate through the delivery catheter. A spreader may be disposed on the clamp catheter. A first clamp may be at least partially contained in the spreader in a closed configuration and may be attached to the chordae tendineae. An anchor catheter may be configured to translate through the delivery catheter and may have an anchor attached to the chordae tendineae. A sheath may be extended over the anchor catheter and anchor and may be configured to restrain an arm of the anchor.
