Abstract: An implantable medical device comprising a first frame component. The first frame component including a first set of elongate elements configured to conform to an anatomy of a patient. The implantable medical device also comprising a second frame component including a second set of elongate elements configured to conform to an anatomy of a patient. The first frame component and the second frame component being discrete and separate from one another. The implantable medical device also comprising a conduit portion arranged between the first frame component and the second frame component. The conduit portion including a membrane connecting the first frame component and the second frame component.

Abstract: A transcatheter system is disclosed, which includes a delivery sheath, a delivery system coupled to an implant and received by the delivery sheath, and a manipulation system. The manipulation system includes a manipulation device. The manipulation device includes an elongate portion that is extendable and retractable within the delivery sheath and an engaging portion extending from the elongate portion. The engaging portion is coupled to an internal bodily structure to be manipulated, and the manipulation system is received by the delivery sheath such that the engaging portion is extendable from the delivery sheath independently from the implant.
