More Information
Summary:A system for forming and closing an aperture in tissue for atrial transseptal access includes an elongate shaft with a tip at the distal end and a fastener platform coupled to the elongate shaft. The system also carries one or more fasteners with an anchor, and one or more penetrating shafts disposed alongside the elongate shaft. The fastener platform is deployable to an expanded configuration that engages and supports tissue surrounding the aperture. The one or more penetrating shafts may be extended through the tissue to engage a free end of the one or more fasteners so the fastener may be pulled through the tissue, or the penetrating shafts may pierce the tissue to deliver the fastener to a left side of the patient's heart for anchoring.
