Abstract
A rod () is transfemorally advanceable to the heart. An implant () comprises (i) a first frame (), compressed around a first longitudinal site of a distal portion of the rod, (ii) a second frame (), compressed around a third longitudinal site of the distal portion, (iii) a valve member (), disposed within the second frame, and (iv) a flexible sheet (), coupling the first frame to the second frame, and disposed around a second longitudinal site of the distal portion, the second longitudinal site being between the first longitudinal site and the third longitudinal site. An extracorporeal controller () is coupled to a proximal portion of the rod, and is operably coupled to the distal portion of the rod. Operating the controller bends the distal portion of the rod causing articulation between the frames. Other embodiments are also described.
