A mitral valve leaflet repair system may include a delivery catheter having at least one lumen extending proximally from a distal end of the delivery catheter, a plurality of anchor elements disposed within the at least one lumen, each of the plurality of anchor elements being configured to extend through one layer of mitral valve leaflet tissue, and a securing element configured to secure at least two of the plurality of anchor elements together on one side of the mitral valve leaflet tissue. The at least one lumen may include a suction lumen configured to grasp a mitral valve leaflet prior to extending the plurality of anchor elements through one layer of mitral valve leaflet tissue.

Percutaneous repair of mitral prolapse

Device sand methods for improving cardiac function are provided. The device includes a dome structure having a top end with an engagement element disposed thereon. The dome structure is moveable from a first inside out configuration to a second deployed configuration, and the dome structure is biased in the second deployed configuration. The dome structure includes a plurality of anchor members disposed around a bottom open end of the dome structure.

Dome structure for improved left ventricle function

A heart valve repair implant may include a first implant section having a first axial core, and a plurality of spines extending radially outward from the first axial core in an expanded configuration; a second implant section having a second axial core configured to slide over the first axial core, and a mesh portion configured to extend radially outward from the second axial core in an expanded configuration; a third implant section having a central tensioning element extending through the first axial core, and a plurality of arms extending radially outward from the central tensioning element and configured to extend axially between the plurality of spines and through the mesh portion; and a securement element disposed on the central tensioning element.

Heart valve repair implant for treating tricuspid regurgitation

A mitral regurgitation treatment system may include an annuloplasty device configured for placement on an atrial side of a mitral valve, a tethering element configured to extend between a first papillary muscle and a second papillary muscle, wherein the tethering element includes a first anchor securing the tethering element to the first papillary muscle and a second anchor securing the tethering element to the second papillary muscle, and a linking element extending from the annuloplasty device to the tethering element. The linking element may include a spring element disposed between the annuloplasty device and the tethering element.
