Abstract:
Apparatus for treating blood flow regurgitation through a native heart valve (16) includes a selective occlusion device sized and configured to be implanted in the native heart valve (16) and selectively operating with at least one of the first or second native leaflets (16a, 16b) to allow blood flow through the native heart valve (16) when the heart cycle is in diastole and reduce blood flow regurgitation through the native heart valve (16) when the heart cycle is in systole. A clip structure (50) is coupled with the selective occlusion device. The clip structure (50) is configured to be affixed to a margin of at least one of the first or second native leaflets (16a, 16b) to secure the selective occlusion device to the native heart valve (16).
