Apparatus and methods for repairing a cardiac valve, e.g., a tricuspid valve, are provided. The apparatus may include a prosthetic device coupled to an elongated support to suspend and maintain the prosthetic device within the cardiac valve. The support may include a proximal elongated shaft detachably coupled, in a delivery state, to a distal elongated shaft coupled to the prosthetic device. The proximal elongated shaft may detach from the distal elongated shaft at a detachment area within the patient responsive to actuation and components of the distal elongated shaft may lock to implant the prosthetic device and the distal elongated shaft within the patient. The prosthetic device may be formed of biocompatible material coupled to a frame, and may have prosthetic leaflets that allows blood to flow through in one direction during a phase of the cardiac cycle (e.g., diastole) but prevent blood regurgitation during the other phase (e.g., systole).

Apparatus and methods for treating a defective cardiac valve

A heart valve therapeutic device () comprises a coaptation assist valve () comprising a conduit () with an outer surface () for coaption with the native leaflets, and a prosthetic flow valve () mounted within the conduit () to allow one-way flow through the conduit (). Support for the coaptation assist valve () is provided by a support () for positioning the conduit () across the native leaflets, and connectors () attaching the conduit () to the support ().
