Abstract: Atrial appendage occlusion devices and cardiac monitoring positioned within the left atrial appendage and/or left atrium. In some embodiments the devices include an anchoring portion adapted to anchor the device in place adjacent the left atrial appendage, the anchoring portion comprising distal deformable anchoring portion adapted to be deployed in the left atrial appendage and a proximal deformable anchoring portion being adapted to be deployed in the left atrium, a barrier element secured to the anchoring portion and adapted to cover the left atrial appendage when implanted, and adapted to prevent blood clots from passing through the barrier element, and a cardiac monitoring element secured to at least one of the anchoring portions, the monitoring element including one or more sensors within in the left atrial appendage and/or left atrium and adapted to monitor left atrial cardiac data.

Abstract: The present invention describes systems and methods for treating tricuspid valve regurgitation and mitral valve regurgitation. The treatment includes a systems and method of modifying the tricuspid or mitral valve by attaching a device in two locations in the valve annulus and pulling them toward each other to stop valve regurgitation by modifying the leaflets of the valve.

Abstract: The present invention describes systems and methods for treating the left atrial appendage with an implant to fluidly seal the left atrial appendage and prevent blood from flowing from the left atrial appendage to the left atrium. The closure implant includes a braided disk, a proximal petal anchor and a distal petal anchor positioned on an implant shaft. The braided disk includes two diameters: a proximal diameter sized to engage a wall area in the left atrium around the LAA ostium; and a distal diameter sized to fit within the LAA ostium. The proximal and distal petal anchors include asymmetrical petals arranged like the petals of a flower configured to engage the wall of the LAA to anchor the implant. The implant is designed to be delivered to the heart using a catheter-based delivery system.

Abstract: The present invention describes systems and methods for treating a hole in the septum, such as a patent foramen ovale or an atrial septal defect, with a closure implant designed to fluidly seal the hole to prevent blood from flowing between the right atrium to the left atrium. The closure implant includes two structures positioned on opposite sides of the hole in septum configured to close and seal the hole. The first structure is an expandable petal anchor having multiple petal groups with multiple petals of different sizes and/or shapes made of shape memory wire configured to be positioned on a distal side of the hole in the septum wall, and the second structure is a braided disk made of shape memory mesh positioned the proximal side of the hole in the septum wall, opposite the petal anchor. The braided disk is sized to cover the hole once it is expanded. The petal anchor is designed to pull and compress the braided disk against the septum wall to cover and fluidly seal the hole.

Abstract: A system for treating and/or monitoring a medical condition of a patient comprises: an implant configured to be inserted into a body space of the patient, such as the left atrial appendage. The implant comprises a frame or ring configured to engage tissue of the patient proximate the body space. Methods of treating and/or monitoring a medical condition of a patient are also provided.
