Abstract

A native heart valve includes a first leaflet and a second leaflet. The first and second leaflets are arranged into a double-orifice by using the implant to couple a middle scallop of the first leaflet to a middle scallop of the second leaflet. Using at least one clip controller, each clip is opened by deflecting an arm of the clip away from a midline of the implant, and each clip is closed by deflecting the arm of the clip back toward the midline. The first and second clips are opened and closed independently of each other. Other embodiments are also described.
