System and method for cardiac valve repair

A method of repairing target cardiac valves, the method comprising:

• positioning an implant in a collapsed state into an atrium of a patient adjacent a target cardiac valve of the patient using a delivery system, the implant including a frame and an occlusive assembly extending distally from the frame;
• transitioning the implant into an expanded state by expanding a control arm assembly of the delivery system;
• approaching the target cardiac valve with the implant in the expanded state;
• positioning the implant such that the frame is supported within the atrium about the target cardiac valve and the occlusive assembly extends from the frame;
• and
• decoupling the implant from the delivery system;
• wherein the delivery system includes:
• a delivery catheter;
• an extension member protruding from a distal end of the delivery catheter and extendable relative to the delivery catheter;
• and
• the control arm assembly, wherein the control arm assembly is coupled to the extension member and laterally expandable to control expansion of the implant.
