Abstract
The present disclosure relates to repair devices and methods for repair of regurgitant tricuspid valves. A repair method includes positioning a repair device at a tricuspid valve in a collapsed configuration. The repair device includes a proximal grasping assembly movable between a first position and a second position and a distal grasping assembly movable between a third position and a fourth position. An actuator rod operatively connected to each of the proximal grasping assembly and the distal grasping assembly so that distal movement of the actuator rod simultaneously moves the proximal grasping assembly proximally and the distal grasping assembly distally.
