Abstract: Embodiments of a medical device and methods for percutaneously treating a heart valve. In one embodiment, the medical device has a first catheter body suitable for percutaneous advancement to a heart region, a support annulus disposed within the first catheter body, a steerable tendon disposed in the first catheter body, a deployment mechanism disposed in the first catheter body and configured to release a support annulus from the distal opening in the first catheter body, a second catheter body disposed in the first catheter body, the second catheter body defining a lumen therethrough and a clip disposed in the lumen of the second catheter body and a cord coupled to the clip.

Abstract: Embodiments of a medical device and methods for percutaneously treating a heart valve. In one embodiment, the medical device has a first cardiac tissue fastener having a first lock, a second cardiac tissue fastener having a second lock, and a chord coupled to the first and second fasteners. Pulling the chord engages the first lock with the second lock.

Abstract: An illuminated identification system comprises a light chamber, a lighting means, an opaque identification stencil, a flashing means, a power on/off switch for the lighting means, and an on/off switch for the flashing means. The light chamber is environmentally sealed, and has one surface which is non-opaque. The lighting means is in series with a power source, and is located in the light chamber. The opaque identification stencil is placed over the non-opaque light chamber surface. When the power switch and the flashing means are both on, the flashing means causes the lighting means to flash on and off. Further, the power switch, and/or the on/off switch for the flashing means, may be operated by remote control.
