[Continued on next page] (54) Title: SYSTEMS AND DEVICES FOR SETTING AN ANCHOR i> i> 00 l> CJ o (57) : An anchoring system and related methods are provided for treatment of dilated hearts and of functional valve regurgitation, the system comprising one or more self- expandable or manually expandable anchors and associated devices for fixating a valve splint within the heart. For ex­ ample, a spade-shaped assembly may be configured to be de­ ployed in a right ventricle of the heart and to stabilize a punc­ turing instrument to puncture the septum. Various puncturing instruments may also be part of the anchoring system, includ­ ing one or more of a flexible needle having a multiplicity of slits disposed along the length of the needle, a trocar catheter with a retractable head, and a catheter needle having a blunt introducer to protect nearby tissue within the heart during ad­ vancing a guidewire. A cutter catheter and puncture location catheter may also be part of the system and be used during treatment.
