    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 is directed to a valve structure that comprises a flexible structure having a distal portion configured for attachment to a first member and a proximal portion configured for attachment to a second member. The flexible structure is configured such that when the first member is extended distally relative to the second member, the flexible structure adopts a reduced width profile and such that when the first member is retracted proximally relative to the second member to a point of maximal retraction, the flexible structure adopts an expanded width profile, which is more resistant to deformation due to fluid pressure in a proximal direction than it is to deformation due to fluid pressure in a distal direction. The present disclosure is also directed to devices and methods pertaining to such a valve structure.

    Abstract translation: 本公开涉及一种阀结构,其包括柔性结构,其具有构造成用于附接到第一构件的远侧部分和被配置为附接到第二构件的近侧部分。 柔性结构构造成使得当第一构件相对于第二构件向远侧延伸时,柔性结构采用减小的宽度轮廓,并且使得当第一构件相对于第二构件向近侧缩回至最大缩回点时, 柔性结构采用扩大的宽度轮廓,其由于在远端方向上的流体压力而导致的在近端方向上的流体压力比由于流体压力变形而变形更大。 本公开还涉及与这种阀结构相关的装置和方法。

    Abstract: A medical system includes an introducer device having an elongate shaft defining a shaft lumen and a hub secured to a proximal region of the elongate shaft. The hub includes a primary channel extending through the hub and fluidly coupled with the shaft lumen and a secondary channel extending through the hub and fluidly coupled with the shaft lumen. A guide catheter is adapted to be advanced through the secondary channel and into the shaft lumen. A guidewire is adapted to be advanced through the secondary channel and into the shaft lumen. A working catheter is adapted to be advanced through the primary channel and into the shaft lumen when the guide catheter is positioned with a distal end of the guide catheter within the secondary channel, the working catheter including a catheter shaft including a distal region that is adapted to releasably engage the guidewire.
