Abstract: A sensor implant device comprises a sensor body, at least a first sensor component, and one or more anchoring features coupled to the sensor device and configured to anchor within a tissue wall. The one or more anchoring features are configured to assume an unexpanded form during delivery and configured to expand into the tissue wall.

Abstract: Devices and methods for treating patients with functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) who are unsuitable for surgery include an interoperative, adjustable-size coapting element on a catheter which may be implanted within the left or right side of the heart and extends upward into the vasculature and out of the body. The radial diameter of the coapting element can be modulated in tandem with electrocardiographic imaging to reduce valve regurgitation. One system has an elongated catheter and an expandable coapting element mounted to a distal end with an auxetic structure connected to opposite end caps. A tensioning mechanism controlled from a proximal end of the catheter is configured to pull apart the two end caps and thus elongate and radially expand the auxetic structure. Other forms of the coapting element are disclosed, as well as a kink-resistant catheter sheath having a triangular cross-section.

Abstract: Several heart wall remodeling devices and methods are disclosed. One heart wall remodeling device includes an anchoring portion having an elongated anchor body with a distal anchor end portion and a proximal anchor end portion opposite the distal anchor end portion, a rotation joint portion having a distal joint end portion fixedly attached to the proximal anchor end portion and a proximal joint end portion opposite the distal joint end portion and a hemostasis element having a distal hemostasis end portion detachably connected to the proximal joint end portion. One heart wall remodeling device includes a tensioner that applies a variable tension between anchors.

Abstract: Devices for puncturing, anchoring in the tissue of a human heart, and sealing the puncture and methods of puncturing, deploying anchors, and sealing the puncture are disclosed. The anchors are used to remodel the shape of the heart. The devices and methods use sealing structures to prevent blood leak through a passage formed by puncturing the heart tissue.
