Abstract: A medical system includes a catheter navigable through vasculature of patient to introduce a valve clip configured to join the edges of heart valve leaflets. The valve clip includes a deformable wire configured to engage valve leaflets, the wire extending from a first wire portion to a second wire portion. The catheter includes a handle having control members, an elongate body defining a lumen extending from the handle to a distal opening, and first and second delivery devices operatively coupled to a control member and extending through the lumen to the distal opening. Each delivery device is configured to releasably couple to a portion of the wire and moveable relative to the distal opening. The delivery devices are controllable at the handle to move the valve clip between an extended configuration and a contracted configuration to engage the valve leaflets.

Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to methods, systems, and apparatuses for managing network connections. A method may include comparing a list of expected connections among a set of endpoints of a network with one or more of the actual connections indicated by configuration files of the set of endpoints to determine one or more differences between the list of expected connections and the actual connections and updating at least one of the configuration files of the set of endpoints to reflect the one or more differences detected between the list of expected connections and the actual connections.

Abstract: A system for treating valvular regurgitation in a heart valve includes a flexible canopy and an elongated tether including an elastic portion and an inelastic portion. When the system is in a deployed configuration, a proximal end of the flexible canopy is coupled to an annulus of the heart valve and a distal end of the elongated tether is coupled to a ventricle. The flexible canopy is configured to overlay a first native leaflet of the heart valve, and tension on the elongated tether is applied and/or adjusted to prevent the first leaflet from prolapsing, to maximize coaptation of the flexible canopy with a second native leaflet of the heart valve, and to minimize regurgitation of the heart valve.
