  • Publication number: 20220022864
    Abstract: Devices and methods for securing a tissue anchor in tissue of a patient, in particular to ensure proper deployment of a cardiac tissue anchor by regulating the force or pressure of a deployment tool against the tissue. One way to ensure proper deployment force is to visualize the distal end of the tissue anchoring catheter from outside the body using a display for an imaging sensor, where the distal end of the catheter changes configuration when it is pressed against the tissue. Another method involves automatically regulating the pressure applied to the tissue prior to deployment of the tissue anchor, which may also be used in conjunction with visualization. Several safety locks to prevent deployment of the tissue anchor prior to establishment of the proper pressure are disclosed, which again may be used with visualization and/or an automated pressure regulator.

  • Publication number: 20210145576
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods disclosed herein are provided for a motorized implant delivery system. The delivery system may utilize a processor for control of at least one motor for actuating a delivery apparatus. The delivery system may include sensors configured sense one or more of a condition of the patient's body or a condition of the delivery apparatus. The processor may process the signals provided by the sensors, which may comprise feedback signals to the processor.
