Embodiment Construction

[0037] The devices and methods described herein can be used, for example, to secure and anchor artificial heart valves, such as artificial mitral valves. The devices and methods described herein can also be used to close openings through the heart created during procedures to implant artificial heart valves. The devices and methods described herein can also be used to anchor other medical devices and / or close perforations or openings formed in other body lumens during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

[0038] In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a tether attachment member, the tether securing member including a base member defining at least a portion of a tether pathway via which an artificial A portion of the tether extending from the heart valve passes therethrough. The base member defines a locking pin channel that intersects the tether channel. The locking pin is disposeable in the locking pin channel and is movable between a first position in which the lockin...

Abstract

Apparatus and methods are described herein for anchoring a prosthetic heart valve. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a tether attachment member that includes a base member (240) that defines at least a portion of a tether passageway (235) through which a portion of a tether (228) extending from a prosthetic heart valve can be received there through. The base member defines a locking pin channel (234) that intersects the tether passageway. A locking pin (226) is disposable within the locking pin channel and movable between a first position in which the locking pin is at a spaced distance from the tether passageway, and a second position in which the locking pin intersects the tether passageway and can engage the portion of a tether disposed therein to secure the tether to the tether attachment member.
