摘要:
This document provides devices and methods for repairing a prolapsing mitral valve leaflet using minimally invasive catheter based approaches. For example, percutaneous procedures that involve folding and securing a segment of a prolapsing leaflet onto or pulling and securing a segment of a prolapsing leaflet through part of the greater mitral valve leaflet are provided. In some cases, artificial chordae are installed to stabilize and maintain desired orientation of the leaflets.
