Summary: | Apparatus and methods are described for use with a medical device (21). A delivery device (20) delivers the medical device (21) to a subject's mitral valve and/or left ventricle. The delivery device (20) includes a steerable catheter (22) comprising two or more deflection cables. At least one of the deflection cables is a steering deflection cable (26) configured to steer the distal portion of the steerable catheter through a first steerable-catheter deflection plane. At least one of the deflection cables is a height-adjustment deflection cable (28) configured to deflect a tip of the steerable catheter, such that the tip is deflected from within the left atrium toward a roof of the left atrium, by steering the tip of the steerable catheter through a second steerable-catheter deflection plane. Other applications are also described. |
