Abstract: An implantable device which shifts between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. The implantable device may be delivered transluminally in a collapsed delivery configuration to a treatment site, whereupon the implantable device may be expanded to a deployment configuration. As the implantable device is expanded to the deployment configuration, the proximal end of the implantable device remains coupled to a delivery and/or deployment device. The implantable device is configured such that while the proximal end may be constrained by being coupled to the delivery device, the distal end is not impeded from expanding to within greater than 90% of its fully expanded configuration when not coupled to the delivery device.

Abstract: An anchoring system including an anchoring assembly having two or more anchor elements, and anchor drive mechanism having a respective actuator portion couplable with each anchor element and operable to separately and independently actuate each anchor element. In some embodiments, the actuator portions are on different portions of a common actuator component. The actuator portions actuate the anchor elements by different actuation movements. Is some embodiments, the actuator portions use different types of actuation movements, such as rotational motion to actuate one anchor element, and axial motion to actuate another anchor element. The actuator portions may be formed on different portions of a common actuator component, or as different structures coupled together.

Abstract: Solutions for reducing irritation and/or trauma which may result upon contact of an implanted implantable device with tissue surrounding or adjacent to the implantable device. Various embodiments include features which allow a tangential or otherwise atraumatic contact of the implantable device with the tissue, in contrast with a sharper contact which may occur with prior art implantable devices. The broad principles are applicable to annuloplasty devices, and have other broader applications as well.
