Estimating the term…
A method of implanting a prosthetic atrioventricular valve into a native atrioventricular valve includes delivering a fixation device to the native valve, and applying the fixation device to engage and approximate free edges of two leaflets of the native valve. After applying the fixation device, the prosthetic valve is delivered to the native valve while the prosthetic valve is in a collapsed condition. The prosthetic valve is then be deployed into the native valve so that the prosthetic valve expands into engagement with the native valve. A transcatheter positioning device for an atrioventricular valve modification device delivery system is also provided. The positioning device comprises a positioning member having an undeployed configuration for delivery of the positioning device to an atrioventricular valve modification device delivery site in the heart of a patient and a deployed configuration for the positioning member to engage and reposition an object in the heart.
A method of implanting a prosthetic atrioventricular valve into a native atrioventricular valve of a heart of a patient, wherein the patient has a pacemaker lead extending from an atrium of the heart to a ventricle of the heart through the native atrioventricular valve, the method comprising:
A method of modifying a native atrioventricular valve within a heart of a patient, the native atrioventricular valve having a pacemaker lead or leads passing therethrough from the atrium associated with the atrioventricular valve to the ventricle associated with the atrioventricular valve, the method comprising:
A method of modifying a native atrioventricular valve, the method comprising:
