Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for use with a valve of a heart. An implant (100) includes a wing (120); a flexible frame (124); and a pair of anchor receivers (150). A pair of shafts (660) are transluminally advanced through a catheter (40), while the shafts are each engaged with a respective anchor receiver (150), to deploy the implant out of the catheter such that the wing extends away from the anchor receivers and over a first leaflet of the valve and toward an opposing leaflet of the valve, with a contact face (122) of the wing facing the first leaflet. A pair of drivers (70) secure the implant using a pair of anchors (30) to anchor each anchor receiver to tissue at respective sites of the heart. Other implementations are also described.

Abstract: An implantable device is configured to be positioned within a native heart valve to allow the native heart valve to form a more effective seal. The implantable device includes a cover. The cover can be attached to one or more sleeves, can have a portion that has a lower coefficient of friction, and/or can have separate pieces that cover different portions of the implantable device.
