Abstract
Devices, systems, and method for adjusting and setting tension of an artificial chordae tendineae. The artificial chordae tendineae is coupleable between a leaflet clip and a tissue anchor. A locking assembly, through which the artificial chordae tendineae extends, is shiftable between a tension-adjusting configuration, in which the artificial chordae tendineae is movable to adjust tension on the leaflet, and a tension-setting or locked configuration, in which the artificial chordae tendineae is inhibited or prevented or locked against moving with respect to the locking assembly to set or fix tension on the leaflet.
