Abstract: A system, for use with a leaflet of a valve of a subject's heart, comprises a catheter, a cutting device, a helical needle, and a suture. The catheter is transluminally advanceable toward the heart. The cutting device is advanceable distally out of the catheter, and is adapted to cut through tissue of the leaflet to form cut tissue and cut edges at the cardiac valve. The helical needle defines a helical lumen, the helical needle configured to be advanced distally out of the catheter and to rotationally extend through, and secure together, two tissue segments of the leaflet. The suture extends through the helical lumen of the helical needle. The helical needle and the suture are configured to extend along the two tissue segments of the leaflet to suture the two tissue segments to each other. Other embodiments are also described.

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 implant includes a frame, and a textile mounted on the frame. The textile includes fibers formed from a mixture of a polymer and an additive molecule. The additive molecule includes a polyurethane backbone and one or more fluorinated end-groups at at least one end of the backbone. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: An implantable device or implant 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 can be removed using one or more of a cutting device, a capture device, and a stabilization component. The stabilization component can control the position of the implantable device while the cutting device resects one or more of the leaflets to which the implantable device is engaged.

Abstract: An implant includes an interface and a wing that is coupled to the interface. A catheter is transluminally advanceable to a heart chamber upstream of a heart valve of a subject and houses the implant. A delivery tool comprises a shaft and a driver. Via engagement with the interface, the shaft is configured to (i) deploy the implant out of the catheter such that, within the chamber, the wing extends away from the interface; and (ii) position the implant in a position in which the interface is at a site in the heart and the wing extends over a first leaflet of the valve toward an opposing leaflet of the valve. The driver is configured to secure the implant in the position by driving an anchor through the interface and into tissue at the site. Other embodiments are also described.
