Abstract
An implantable intracardiac device to prevent systolic anterior motion of the anterior mitral valve leaflet into the left ventricular outflow tract is described. The device comprises a blocking member configured for implantation within the left ventricle of the heart and in-situ blocking of systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve into the left ventricular outflow tract when anchored into the left ventricle of the heart. The device may be configured for radial expansion from a contracted orientation suitable for transluminal delivery to the left ventricle of the heart within a suitable delivery vehicle and an expanded orientation suitable for deployment within the left ventricle of the heart. The device comprises anchors configured for anchoring the device in-situ within the left ventricle to a wall of the left ventricle.
