Abstract
Medical device systems, methods and devices are provided for treating a valve in a heart to minimize valve regurgitation, the medical device system includes an RF energy source, a handle, a treatment catheter, and first and second sleeves. The handle is operatively coupled to the RF energy source and coupled to the treatment catheter. The first and second sleeves each extend through a lumen of the treatment catheter and are moveable between a constricted position and an expanded position. The first sleeve includes a first electrode and the second sleeve includes a second electrode. Further, the first sleeve and the second sleeve are biased away from each other such that, upon being moved to the expanded position, the first and second sleeves splay outward to exhibit a v-configuration.
