摘要：
Systems, apparatuses, and methods disclosed herein are provided for medical treatment, including transcatheter medical treatments and/or for treatment of dilated hearts (e.g., dilated left ventricle) or functional mitral valve regurgitation within a human heart. The systems, apparatuses, and methods disclosed herein may include applying one or more heart splints to the patient's heart to apply pressure to the heart to reshape the heart. Anchors disclosed herein may be utilized in plugs for treating openings in a septum between two chambers of a heart, e.g., ventricular septal defects (VSD), atrial septal defects (ASD), and patent foramen ovale (PFO). In addition, the anchors disclosed herein may be utilized to reshape an annulus of a patient's heart valve, including a tricuspid valve of a patient's heart. The anchors disclosed herein may also be utilized to reposition a heart valve leaflet to reduce heart valve leaflet prolapse.
