Abstract
A mitral valve clip includes a stud, a lock, and two arms. The stud includes a shank, and the lock includes a frame relative to which the stud is translatable and into which the shank extends. The lock is able to prevent movement of the stud relative to the lock in at least one direction by locking engagement of the shank. The two arms are connected to the lock and the stud such that an angle between the arms depends on a location of the stud relative to the lock. The locking engagement of the shank that prevents movement of the stud relative to the lock in the at least one direction is only possible when the angle between the arms is below a predefined locking threshold.
