Abstract
A valve and tether fixation mechanism includes an anchor, a tether, and a prosthetic heart valve. The anchor may be for anchoring a prosthetic heart valve in a native heart valve. The tether may have a distal end coupled to the anchor. The tether may extend proximally from the anchor and connect to a tensioning mechanism. The prosthetic valve may be configured to translate along the tether. The valve may have a tether connecting portion configured to allow for adjustment of the tension in the tether and affix the prosthetic valve to the tether at a desired tension.
