Zusammenfassung:Devices and methods for use in a cardiac valve repair procedure, particularly a tricuspid valve repair procedure. An interventional clip device includes a pair of distal elements rotatably joined to a coupling member, and a pair of proximal elements resiliently biased toward the distal elements to grasp tissue therebetween. The proximal elements include a plurality of adjustable tines moveable between a retracted configuration and an open configuration to avoid damage to tissue prior to engagement while allowing tines to enhance gripping to targeted tissue when open. A delivery system enables delivery of an interventional clip to a targeted cardiac valve, and includes a support structure for maintaining position relative to the cardiac valve.
