Abstract:
A leaflet clip has an elongated member including a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, and first and second clipping arms movable between an open position and a closed position. The clipping arms include respective proximal end portions coupled to the proximal end portion of the elongated member, and respective distal end portions extending distally and radially outward relative to the elongated member. The leaflet clip further includes a tubular member coaxially disposed about the elongated member. Axial motion of the tubular member with respect to the elongated member or axial motion of the elongated member with respect to the tubular member causes corresponding movement of the clipping arms between the open and closed positions.
