Abstract

A tubular system comprising a catheter is configured to deliver an implant into the heart. The implant comprises a coupling head and a tissue-engaging element that comprises a first electrode. A driver is configured to, via engagement with the coupling head, (i) advance the implant out of a distal end of the tubular system and place the tissue-engaging element in contact with tissue of the heart, and (ii) secure the implant within the heart by fastening the tissue-engaging element to the tissue. A control unit, electrically couplable to (i) the first electrode via the driver, and (ii) a second electrode contacting the subject, is configured, to (i) receive an electrical signal from the electrodes, and (ii) based on the electrical signal, display information indicative of contact between the first electrode and the tissue. Other embodiments are also described.
