Abstract
Delivery systems, methods and associated devices for management of an elongate element having sections with differing mechanical properties, in particular, for management of a loop of suture-wire element extending proximally from a delivery catheter for deployment of a heart implant. Such management devices can include an inner feature (e.g. outward facing groove or series of tabs) along an inner circle about which a suture can be coiled and an outer feature (e.g. inward facing groove or tabs) to engage and constrain a wire section having increased stiffness within a coil having a larger diameter than the coiled suture. Such devices can be provided separately or can be integrated within a handle of the delivery catheter. Methods of loading suture-wire management devices and utilizing such devices during deployment of an implantable anchor are also described herein.
