Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In some embodiments, an apparatus (530) includes a handle (535), an actuator, a pusher device (537), and a puncture member. A distal anchor (540) is disposed at a distal end portion of an artificial chordae (542) and is in a delivery configuration. The artificial chordae is coupled to the actuator and extends through a lumen of the puncture member. The actuator can be actuated to move the puncture member distally a preset distance, and to move the pusher device distally such that at least a portion of the distal anchor is moved distal to the distal end of the puncture member and the distal anchor is moved from its delivery configuration to a deployed configuration.
