Abstract
The present disclosure relates to various anchoring systems for a catheter delivered device. In one instance the anchoring systems of the present disclosure are designed to be used in connection with a pulmonary artery implant device. In one embodiment, an anchoring system of the present disclosure comprises two anchoring ends, a distal end anchoring structure and a proximal end anchoring structure, where at least one of the distal or proximal anchoring structures has a clover-shaped structure formed by at least three lobes. In another embodiment, the distal anchoring structure includes an elongated and angled shape formed by wire material. In another embodiment, both the distal and proximal anchoring structures have a clover-shaped structure formed by at least three lobes.
