Abstract
A coaptation-assist device is provided for treating a native atrioventricular valve. The coaptation-assist device includes a ventricular anchor and a neo-leaflet. The ventricular anchor includes a subannular anchor and a ventricular wall anchor. The subannular anchor is configured to be anchored in position in a subannular space of a target native leaflet of the native atrioventricular valve. The ventricular wall anchor includes one or more anchor-loop wire loops, which are configured to be anchored in position against a ventricular wall outside the subannular space. The neo-leaflet is supported by the ventricular anchor and is configured to at least partially replace function of the target native leaflet by providing a surface of coaptation for one or more opposing native leaflets that oppose the target native leaflet, when the ventricular anchor is positioned in the ventricle. Other embodiments are also described.
