CA 2337089

A novel approach to mitral or tricuspid valve repair involves the performance of an edge-to-edge fastening/securing of opposing heart valve leaflets (122, 124) through a catheter (126) entering the heart. Thus, a device is introduced including a leaflet fastener applicator through a cardiac catheter (126) or other suitable catheter. The leaflet fastener applicator and cardiac catheter (126) can be formed into a kit. A gripper (402) can be used to hold the heart valve leaflets (122, 124) while they are fastened.

Cette nouvelle technique de réparation de la valvule bicuspide et de la valvule tricuspide repose sur la fixation/assujettissement bord à bord des valves opposées des valvules cardiaques (122, 124) à l'aide d'un cathéter (126) introduit dans le coeur. On introduit, au moyen d'un cathéter cardiaque (126) ou d'un autre cathéter adapté, un dispositif comprenant un mécanisme fixateur de valve. Le mécanisme de fixation des valves et le cathéter cardiaque (126) peuvent constituer un kit. Il est également possible d'utiliser un organe de préhension (402) pour maintenir les valves des valvules cardiaques (122, 124) durant leur assujettissement l'une à l'autre.
