Medical device for modification of left atrial appendage and related systems and methods
Abstract:
Devices, methods and systems are provided for occluding an opening within the tissue of a body, such as a left atrial appendage. In one embodiment, a device includes a framework extending between a primary hub and a secondary hub. The secondary hub is moveable relative to the primary hub upon deploying the framework from a constricted position to a deployed position such that the secondary hub remains proximal a distal end of the framework. The framework, in the deployed position, includes engaging members proximal the distal end of the framework, and the framework includes multiple frame segments each extending with an arcuate configuration at a distal side of the framework such that the frame segments, at the distal side thereof, each extend radially and distally toward the distal end, then turn and extend radially and proximally inward toward the secondary hub.
