Abstract
Described herein are devices, systems and methods for delivering an endocardial device. The systems for delivering the device transvascularly may generally include an elongate guide catheter having a proximal end and a distal end; a conical dilator at the distal end of the elongate guide catheter, the conical dilator being removable to enable delivery of the ventricular portioning device; a delivery catheter having a proximal and distal end; an expansion member near the distal end of the delivery catheter and configured to expand a plurality of struts of the partitioning device; and a coupling element configured to deployably secure to a hub of the partitioning device. The systems for delivering the device transapically may generally include an elongate access sheath; an elongate delivery catheter; an expansion member; and a coupling element proximal to the expansion member and configured to deployably secure to a hub of the partitioning device.
