Abstract
Methods and devices are disclosed for minimally invasive procedures in the heart. In one application, a catheter is advanced from the left atrium through the mitral valve and along the left ventricular outflow tract to orient and stabilize the catheter and enable a procedure such as a 'bow tie' repair of the mitral valve. Right heart procedures are also disclosed.
