Abstract
The invention provides medical devices, systems and methods for tissue approximation and repair and in particular to reduce mitral regurgitation by means of improved coaptation. The devices, systems and methods of the invention will find use in a variety of therapeutic procedures, including endovascular, minimally-invasive, and open surgical procedures, and can be used in various anatomical regions, including the cardiovascular system, heart, other organs, vessels, and tissues. The invention is particularly useful in those procedures requiring minimally-invasive or endovascular access to remote tissue locations, where the instruments utilized must negotiate long, narrow, and tortuous pathways to the treatment site.
