    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for prosthetic valves. The prosthetic valves disclosed herein may be utilized for improved deployment, sealing, and anchoring to an implantation site. An implantation site may comprise a native heart valve or another implantation site in examples. Examples of prosthetic valves may include a proximal tensioning body positioned at a proximal portion of the prosthetic valve and a distal tensioning body positioned at a distal portion of the prosthetic valve. A sealing skirt may have a proximal end portion coupled to the proximal tensioning body and a distal end portion coupled to the distal tensioning body. The sealing skirt may be tensioned by the proximal tensioning body and the distal tensioning body and deflectable to conform to a shape of the native valve.

    Abstract: Devices and methods for securing a tissue anchor in tissue of a patient, in particular to ensure proper deployment of a cardiac tissue anchor by regulating the force or pressure of a deployment tool against the tissue. One way to ensure proper deployment force is to visualize the distal end of the tissue anchoring catheter from outside the body using a display for an imaging sensor, where the distal end of the catheter changes configuration when it is pressed against the tissue. Another method involves automatically regulating the pressure applied to the tissue prior to deployment of the tissue anchor, which may also be used in conjunction with visualization. Several safety locks to prevent deployment of the tissue anchor prior to establishment of the proper pressure are disclosed, which again may be used with visualization and/or an automated pressure regulator.
