Abstract: A delivery handle for implanting a prosthetic device at one of a mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary valve region of a human heart includes a housing and an actuation control mechanism. The actuation control mechanism includes a knob and an actuation tube. The knob is rotatably coupled to the housing. The actuation tube is coupled to the knob such that rotation of the knob in a first direction moves the actuation tube distally relative to the housing and rotation of the knob in a second direction moves the actuation tube proximally relative to the housing.

Abstract: A method and system for implanting and repositioning an implantable device for a native valve of a patient's heart includes a delivery catheter, a collar, a coupler, and an actuation element. The actuation element extends through the delivery catheter and attaches to the device to open the device. The collar is connected to the device and the coupler is connected to the delivery catheter. The collar and coupler are tied together via one or more coupling tethers which can be used to reengage the device after an initial deployment.

Abstract: An exemplary valve repair system for repairing a native valve of a patient during a non-open-heart procedure has a delivery device and a valve repair device. The valve repair device is configured to be delivered through a lumen of the delivery device and to attach to a native valve of a patient. The valve repair device has first and second paddles and first and second gripping members. The first and second paddles are movable between an open position and a closed position. The first gripping member is attached to the first paddle and the second gripping member is attached to the second paddle. The gripping members are configured to attach to the native valve of the patient. A gripper control mechanism is configured to separately move the first and second gripping members.

Abstract: In an exemplary method of implanting a valve repair device on a mitral valve of a patient, first and second clasps of the valve repair device are closed to grasp the leaflets of the mitral valve. First and second paddles of the valve repair device are closed to bring the leaflets of the mitral valve into contact with a coaption element.

Abstract: An implantable prosthetic device can include a spacer member, a plurality of anchors, and a plurality of clasps. The spacer member can be configured to be disposed between native leaflets of a heart. The anchors can be coupled to the spacer member and configured to secure the native leaflets against the spacer member. The clasps can be coupled to a respective anchor and configured to secure the native leaflets to the anchors. The clasps can be independently movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration.

Abstract: A pair of paddles are moved laterally away from one another in an exemplary method of repairing a native valve of a patient during a non-open-heart procedure. After the paddles are moved laterally away from one another, first and second gripping members are moved from an open position to a closed position to grasp valve leaflets. The paddles are then moved laterally toward one another. A cam can be used to move the paddles away from one another.
