Embodiment Construction
[0031] Described herein are devices, systems, and methods for immobilizing, controlling, capturing, or otherwise manipulating native heart valve leaflets as the prosthetic heart valve is delivered to or disposed within the native annulus of an atrioventricular valve of the heart.
[0032] In some embodiments, a prosthetic heart valve (also referred to herein as "prosthetic valve") includes a self-expanding wire frame body (also referred to herein as "body") disposed on the A valve in the body, a leaflet clip coupled to the body, and a control element operably coupled to the leaflet clip. The body has a proximal end and a distal end. The leaflet clip is configured to transition between a first configuration in which the prosthetic heart valve is insertable into the heart and a second configuration in which the body When disposed in a native annulus of an atrioventricular valve of the heart, the leaflet clip is arranged to capture a native leaflet between the leaflet clip and t...
