摘要：
An orientation device (200) for use in mitral valve repair surgery is provided and includes a catheter (202) catheter insertable percutaneously through the mitral valve into a chamber of a heart. At least one pressure sensor (216 218) and two generally arcuate commissural arms (208 210) are provided at or near the distal end (204) of the catheter (202). The arms (208 210) are deployable from a stowed condition in which the catheter (202) can be introduced percutaneously into the heart to an operative condition in which they extend outwardly in generally opposite directions. Each arm (208 210) is shaped to be locatable within a mitral valve commissure and has an indentation (212) shaped to extend in use at least partially about a mitral valve commissure to limit movement of the device (200) relative to the mitral valve in the axial direction of the catheter (202).
