Embodiment Construction

[0060] Described herein are devices and methods for the delivery and deployment of a prosthetic mitral valve and epicardial cushion. As described herein, in some embodiments, a method includes delivering and deploying an expandable tissue expander device. An expandable tissue expander device may be used to expand tissue or otherwise create space near the apical region of the heart. In some embodiments, the tether attached to the prosthetic valve may extend outside the apex of the heart after the prosthetic mitral valve has been deployed within the heart by transcatheter or other suitable delivery method. The tissue expander device can be used to expand tissue or otherwise create space for delivery and / or deployment of the epicardial pad device at the apical region of the heart, thereby securing the tether and prosthetic valve in a desired location.

[0061] A prosthetic valve can be delivered into a patient's heart using a variety of different delivery methods for delivering ...

Abstract

Apparatus and methods are described herein for use in the delivery of a prosthetic mitral valve. In some embodiments, a method includes after deploying a prosthetic mitral valve within a mitral annulus of a heart, inserting a delivery sheath into the patients body and disposing a distal end near the apex of the heart. A tissue dilator device can be inserted through a lumen of the delivery sheath and used to dilate tissue near the apex of the heart to create space for an epicardial pad device. After dilating the tissue, the tissue dilator device can be removed and an epicardial pad device can be attached to a tether extending from the prosthetic valve. The pad can be secured at the apex of the heart to secure the prosthetic valve and tether in a desired position. In some embodiments, the epicardial pad device can be an expandable epicardial pad device.
