Claim 0:
1. A valve repair device, comprising:
an atrial fixation member configured to press against cardiac tissue proximate to a native valve annulus;
a coaptation member extending away from the atrial fixation member and radially inward from the atrial fixation member, the coaptation member comprising an inner portion having a coaptation surface configured to coapt with a first native leaflet during systole, an outer portion configured to displace at least a portion of a second native leaflet, and a downstream end portion, wherein the coaptation member is substantially stationary during cardiac cycles, and wherein the coaptation member defines an interior volume and an opening to the interior volume; and
a plurality of clip mechanisms depending from the coaptation member, wherein each clip mechanism comprises—
a base portion coupled to the downstream end portion of the coaptation member,
a free end portion unaffixed to the coaptation member,
an articulatable arm member extending in an upstream direction from the base portion and forming the free end portion, wherein the articulatable arm member is configured to capture a portion of either the first native leaflet or the second native leaflet between the articulatable arm member and the coaptation member, and
an actuation mechanism configured to move the articulatable arm member between a closed position and an open position;
wherein each of the actuation mechanisms is independently actuatable via a delivery component inserted through the opening in the coaptation member and into the interior volume of the coaptation member.
