    Abstract: A heart valve anchor apparatus may include a body having a proximal portion and a distal portion. The body may include a first radially expandable portion at the proximal portion of the body, a second radially expandable portion at the distal portion of the body, and a root portion extending from the first radially expandable portion to the second radially expandable portion, the root portion having an outer extent. The first radially expandable portion may be configured to self-expand to an outer extent greater than the outer extent of the root portion when radially unconstrained. The second radially expandable portion may be configured to self-expand to an outer extent greater than the outer extent of the root portion when radially unconstrained. In an unstressed configuration, the body may define a longitudinal centerline that extends away from a plane tangent to the root portion.

    Abstract: A medical device for cutting a suture during a minimally invasive procedure may include an elongate shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a central longitudinal axis, a handle disposed at the proximal end of the elongate shaft, the handle including an actuation mechanism, and a cutting blade disposed proximate the distal end of the elongate shaft. The cutting blade is axially translatable within the elongate shaft in response to operation of the actuation mechanism. The elongate shaft includes a distal port to receive a suture. The elongate shaft includes a transverse slot extending inward from an outer surface of the elongate shaft generally perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis. The elongate shaft includes a suture lumen extending from the distal port axially within the elongate shaft to the transverse slot. The cutting blade intersects the transverse slot adjacent the suture lumen.

    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.
