EXTENSION DE FEUILLET DE VALVULE MITRALE TRANSCATHÉTER

摘要

A method of augmenting the length of a native leaflet to improve leaflet coaptation includes delivering a cutting tool to a surgical site adjacent the native leaflet, cutting a slit through the native leaflet, inserting a collapsible and expandable occlusion device into the slit, expanding the occlusion device, engaging a first surface of the first disk with a first surface of the native leaflet, and engaging a second surface of the second disk with a second surface of the native leaflet opposite the first surface. The occlusion device includes a first disk, a second disk, and an intermediate portion coupling the first disk to the second disk.
