Devices, systems, and methods for positioning an anchor for an artificial chordae tendineae

A system for delivering and deploying an implantable device to a deployment site in a body, the system comprising:

• an implantable device;
• a delivery device configured to deliver the implantable device to the deployment site;
• wherein the delivery device comprises an anchor garage configured to deliver a tissue anchor to a deployment site, the tissue anchor having two or more talons shiftable from a delivery configuration to a deployment configuration;
• and
• three or more sensors positioned along a distal end of the delivery device and configured to generate a signal when the distal end of the delivery device is in contact with tissue to ensure purchase of tissue by the implantable device upon deployment without the need for imaging.

A method of delivering and deploying an implantable device, the method comprising:

• delivering a delivery and deployment device transluminally to a deployment site within a body;
• wherein the delivery and deployment device comprises an anchor garage configured to deliver a tissue anchor to a deployment site, the tissue anchor having two or more talons shiftable from a delivery configuration to a deployment configuration;
• and
• contacting three or more sensors on a distal end of the delivery and deployment device with tissue at the delivery site to generate a signal indicative of a position of the delivery and deployment device ensuring purchase of the implantable device with tissue at the deployment site.
