A device for suturing an anatomic valve, comprising: an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end; a first needle operatively coupled to the elongate body near the distal end of the elongate body for movement between a retracted position and an advanced position; a first arm attached to the elongate body near the distal end of the elongate body for movement between a retracted position and an extended position, the first needle located proximally in relation to the first arm , the first arm comprising a suture mount for releasably retaining a suture portion , the suture mount being positioned on the first arm such that the first needle retrieves the suture portion retained in the suture mount when the first needle is moved from the retracted position to the advanced position and returned to the retracted position, a tissue-piercing structure of the first needle configured to be received within the first arm when the first arm is at least partially closed or in the retracted position and the first needle is in the advanced position; and at least a second arm and at least a second needle , the second needle located proximally in relation to the second arm ; wherein a recess is defined between the elongate body and the first arm when the first arm is at least partially closed or in the retracted position, the recess being sized and shaped to receive a leaflet of a valve between the distal end of the elongate body and the first arm without damaging the leaflet ; wherein the first needle is configured to penetrate the valve leaflet as the first needle moves to the advanced position when the valve leaflet is between the distal end of the elongate body and the first arm . an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end; a first needle operatively coupled to the elongate body near the distal end of the elongate body for movement between a retracted position and an advanced position; a first arm attached to the elongate body near the distal end of the elongate body for movement between a retracted position and an extended position, the first needle located proximally in relation to the first arm , the first arm comprising a suture mount for releasably retaining a suture portion , the suture mount being positioned on the first arm such that the first needle retrieves the suture portion retained in the suture mount when the first needle is moved from the retracted position to the advanced position and returned to the retracted position, a tissue-piercing structure of the first needle configured to be received within the first arm when the first arm is at least partially closed or in the retracted position and the first needle is in the advanced position; and at least a second arm and at least a second needle , the second needle located proximally in relation to the second arm ; wherein a recess is defined between the elongate body and the first arm when the first arm is at least partially closed or in the retracted position, the recess being sized and shaped to receive a leaflet of a valve between the distal end of the elongate body and the first arm without damaging the leaflet ; wherein the first needle is configured to penetrate the valve leaflet as the first needle moves to the advanced position when the valve leaflet is between the distal end of the elongate body and the first arm . <EOS>
