Abstract:
1. A medical device, comprising: a delivery sheath; an implantable device moveably disposed within the delivery sheath; the implantable device further comprises a distal expandable basket and a different proximal expandable basket connected by a connecting member, wherein the connecting member is coupled at a first end to a proximal end of the distal expandable basket and at a second end to a distal end of the proximal expandable basket, wherein the proximal end of the distal expandable basket and a proximal end of the proximal expandable basket are both slideable along the connecting member when the expandable baskets are expanding and collapsing, and wherein the distal end of the distal expandable basket and the distal end of the proximal expandable basket are both shaped as truncated cones; each of the distal expandable basket and proximal expandable basket being collapsed during delivery and expanded after deployment, wherein the delivery sheath constrains the distal expandable basket and the proximal expandable basket until deployment; and an actuator releasably coupling to the implantable device at a portion of the connecting member, the actuator to move the implantable device when coupled to the implantable device, and wherein the proximal expandable basket includes a distal end that is fixed on the connecting member, wherein the distal expandable basket is deployable against the inner wall of the coronary sinus adjacent the mitral valve annulus, the proximal expandable basket is deployable against the inner wall or at an entrance of the coronary sinus, and the implantable device is configured to reshape the coronary sinus.
