Abstract:
Disclosed are methods, systems, and devices for the endovascular repair of cardiac valves, particularly the atrioventricular valves which inhibit back flow of blood from a heart ventricle during contraction. The procedures described herein can be performed with interventional tools, guides and supporting catheters and other equipment introduced to the heart chambers from the patient's arterial or venous vasculature remote from the heart. The interventional tools and other equipment may be introduced percutaneously or may be introduced via a surgical cut down, and then advanced from the remote access site through the vasculature until they reach the heart.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of attaching a chordal replacement device, the method comprising:\n advancing a proximal anchor into a heart; attaching a flexible patch of the proximal anchor to the heart; attaching a leaflet attachment device of the proximal anchor to the heart to an upper surface of a portion of a flailing leaflet; advancing a distal anchor of the chordal replacement device into a ventricle of the heart, the distal anchor including a balloon; and filling the balloon with fluid to increase tension on a flexible tether, which is coupled to and tensioned between the proximal and distal anchors,\n wherein a portion of the distal anchor is configured to extend only partially into a sidewall of the ventricle.
