Cardiac valve repair devices and associated systems and methods

A valve repair device for repairing a cardiac valve including a first native leaflet and a second native leaflet, the valve repair device comprising:

• a coaptation member configured to be positioned at least partially between the first native leaflet and the second native leaflet, wherein the coaptation member has a first portion configured to face the first native leaflet and a second portion configured to face the second native leaflet;
• a clip mechanism extending from the first portion and configured to engage a ventricular side of the first native leaflet to at least partially secure the first native leaflet between the clip mechanism and the first portion of the coaptation member;
• and
• a stabilization member extending from the coaptation member at least partially upward from the coaptation member and laterally away from the first portion of the coaptation member, wherein the stabilization member comprises a frame and a covering at least partially enclosing the frame, the frame comprising at least one curved wire form shaped to match a shape of the atrial side of the first native leaflet and an atrial wall, and wherein the stabilization member is shaped to extend along and press against an atrial side of the first native leaflet and the atrial wall above the first native leaflet to substantially maintain the coaptation member in a substantially stationary position relative to the cardiac valve during cardiac cycles.
