Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019058178A1] Disclosed is an instrument having an elongated shaft, a first member configured in the elongated shaft such that the first member can be deployed from a first portion of the instrument. The first member, when deployed, is configured over a tissue bridge within a heart, the tissue bridge having a clip or suture. A second member is also configured in the elongated shaft such that the second member is deployed from a second portion of the elongated shaft, wherein the second member, when deployed, is configured under the tissue bridge and the clip or suture. The elongated shaft is configured such that the second member, when deployed, moves towards the first member to yield a combined member which receives the tissue bridge and the clip or suture. The elongated shaft receives the combined member. The first member and/or the second member include a signal emitter to cut the tissue bridge.
