Abstract: An obstructing device mountable on a heart valve cusp or leaflet, comprising: an hollow tubular member, comprising: an attachment element configured to trap said leaflet or cusp comprising: a peripheral frame having a distal end, a proximal end and two side arms; a clipping arm extending distally from said proximal end, located between said side arms and having a free end, so that said cusp or leaflet can be trapped between said frame and said clipping arm; wherein said hollow tubular member is attached to said peripheral frame; wherein said peripheral frame and said central arm are each elastically deformable and have a preferred bending plane to apply clamping force towards said leaflet or cusp when said leaflet or cusp is trapped therebetween; and wherein said peripheral frame and said central arm are each curved in their respective preferred bending plane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an obstructing device comprising a hollow tubular member comprising a. a proximal opening at its proximal end; b. a substantially tubular surface extending distally from said proximal opening; c. a distal end. The obstructing device further comprises a grasping arm extending distally from said opening at the proximal end; wherein the distal end is either closed or comprises a small orifice. The present invention relates to a method of delivery of said device.
