Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021034538A1] A method of tethering a heart valve leaflet can comprise anchoring a second anchor portion to a ventricular septum, deploying a first tether portion, and anchoring a first anchor portion to a posterior leaflet of a tricuspid valve. The method can comprise anchoring a fourth anchor portion to a right ventricular free wall, deploying a second tether portion, and anchoring a third anchor portion to an anterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve. The method can comprise anchoring a sixth anchor portion to another portion of the right ventricular free wall, deploying a third tether portion, and anchoring a fifth anchor portion to a septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve. A method of tethering a heart valve leaflet can comprise anchoring a first anchor portion to an anterior leaflet of a mitral valve, deploying a first tether portion, and anchoring a second anchor portion to a left ventricular free wall to couple the anterior leaflet to the left ventricular free wall; and anchoring a third anchor portion to a posterior leaflet of the mitral valve, deploying a second tether portion, and anchoring a fourth anchor portion to a left ventricular free wall to couple the posterior leaflet to the left ventricular free wall.
