  • Device and method for heart valve repair
    Patent number: 9668860
    Abstract: The invention provides a device (50) and system for treating a heart valve having an anchor (54, 56) and one or more sutures attached to the anchor. The anchor has an expanded deployed configuration and a low caliber undeployed configuration. A delivery in a heart includes catheter and a needle slidable in the lumen of the catheter. The distal end of the catheter is inserted through the myocardium of the heart until the catheter tip is juxtaposed to the underside of the valve leaflet to be treated. The leaflet is then pierced with tip of the needle. The needle is pushed until the anchor in its undeployed configuration passes through the needle tip and is released from the catheter. The anchor is then brought to its deployed configuration on one or both surfaces of the valve leaflet.
