Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods for cardiac device anchoring and more specifically to accessing and anchoring in the pericardial space.
Claims21
A mitral valve chord repair system, comprising:
- a pericardial anchoring system, comprising:
- an epicardial anchor comprising a skirt and a pericardial anchoring suture coupled to the skirt;
- a transmyocardial pledget extending from the skirt and coupled to the pericardial anchoring suture;
- wherein the epicardial anchor is configured to be transformable between a predeployed configuration and a deployed configuration, in the deployed configuration the epicardial anchor being in a coiled configuration and the transmyocardial pledget being in a collapsed configuration;
- a socket coupled to the transmyocardial pledget;
- at least one leaflet anchor coupled to a leaflet anchoring suture;
- and
- a suture lock configured to secure the pericardial anchoring suture and the leaflet anchoring suture;
- wherein the socket is configured to constrain and dock the suture lock.
6 more elements
A pericardial anchoring system, comprising:
- an epicardial anchor comprising a skirt and a pericardial anchoring suture coupled to the skirt;
- a transmyocardial pledget extending from a proximal portion of the epicardial anchor and coupled to the pericardial anchoring suture;
- a suture lock configured to secure the pericardial anchoring suture;
- and
- a socket coupled to the transmyocardial pledget and configured to constrain and dock the suture lock,
- wherein the epicardial anchor is configured to be transformable between a predeployed configuration and a deployed configuration, in the deployed configuration the epicardial anchor being in a coiled configuration and the transmyocardial pledget being in a collapsed configuration.
3 more elements
A pericardial anchoring system, comprising:
- an epicardial anchor comprising a skirt including a reinforced portion;
- a pericardial anchoring suture including an end fixedly coupled to the reinforced portion of the skirt;
- and
- a transmyocardial pledget extending from the skirt and coupled to the pericardial anchoring suture;
- wherein the epicardial anchor is configured to be transformable between a predeployed configuration and a deployed configuration, in the deployed configuration the epicardial anchor being in a coiled configuration and the transmyocardial pledget being in a collapsed configuration.
