Abstract
A system for treating a septal defect comprises a treatment device slidably received within a catheter. The device includes a patch attached to a support. The support has a body segment and a plurality of leg segments that self-expand radially outward as the device is released from the catheter. A method for treating a septal defect comprises delivering the treatment device in the catheter proximate a septal defect. The device is slid in a distal direction to release a portion of each leg segment from the catheter, the leg segments partially expanded radially outward. The leg segments are placed in contact with tissue surrounding the septal defect. The device is slid farther until the leg segments are fully released from the catheter and fully expanded, thereby implanting a distal portion of each leg segment in tissue surrounding the septal defect and positioning the patch against the septal defect.
