Systems, devices, and methods are provided for retrieval of an implant from the prostatic urethra. Embodiments of retrieval systems can include a device for insertion into the patient and a proximal control device for use in grasping a portion of the implant and withdrawing the implant into a lumen of the retrieval system.

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for the delivery of an implant into the prostatic urethra. Embodiments of delivery systems can include a delivery device for insertion into the patient and a proximal control device for use in controlling release of the implant from the delivery device.

Benign prosthetic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. Treatment options for BPH include medication, surgery (e.g., removal of enlarged prostate tissue), and minimally invasive procedures (e.g., needle ablation, electrovaporization, thermotherapy, and stent insertion). Minimally invasive procedure is typically the preferred choice if medication is ineffective. Accordingly, disclosed herein are system and method for treating BPH using improved implant and delivery device. Certain embodiments of the delivery device can include: a camming barrel having a first groove at the distal end of the camming barrel; a sheath, located within a lumen of the camming barrel, for storing the implantable device; and a first cam follower coupled to the sheath.

Disclosed herein are prosthetic devices and related methods for implantation at the native mitral valve of the heart by drawing an atrial portion and a ventricular portion toward each other from opposite sides of the native mitral valve, clamping the native mitral valve therebetween. One or more retention members passing through the mitral valve orifice or through a puncture in the native valve anatomy can couple the atrial and ventricular members together and keep them anchored onto the native mitral valve anatomy. The atrial portion can seat against the atrial side of the mitral annulus while the ventricular portion can include hooks and/or a sub-annular ring that engage and capture the native mitral valve apparatus to provide anchorage. The described technology can avoid the need to use sutures to anchor a prosthetic device at the mitral valve region.
