Abstract
An implantable device includes a spacer member configured to be disposed between leaflets of a native heart valve that is located between a first chamber and a second chamber of the heart. The device further includes a plurality of anchor members coupled to the spacer member and configured to capture the leaflets such that the device is retained between the leaflets. The spacer member is configured to provide a flow path through the device between the first chamber and the second chamber when the leaflets are captured such that blood can flow regurgitatively from the second chamber to the first chamber through the spacer member.
