METHOD FOR USE AT A HEART VALVE

First and second atrial arms and first and second ventricular arms are advanced to the heart. The first ventricular arm is moved distally by applying a pulling force to the first ventricular arm at a first fixed connection point that is at a portion of the first ventricular arm that is farthest from...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	First and second atrial arms and first and second ventricular arms are advanced to the heart. The first ventricular arm is moved distally by applying a pulling force to the first ventricular arm at a first fixed connection point that is at a portion of the first ventricular arm that is farthest from a first articulation site of the first atrial arm and the first ventricular arm, and the second ventricular arm is moved distally by applying a pulling force to the second ventricular arm at a second fixed connection point that is at a portion of the second ventricular arm that is farthest from a second articulation site of the second atrial arm and the second ventricular arm. Subsequently, the first native leaflet is clamped between the first arms, and the second native leaflet is clamped between the second arms. Other embodiments are also described.
