Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure involves a system and method of use for delivering an interventional instrument, such as an artificial chordae tendineae (ACT) delivery instrument, into a beating heart. By delivering interventional instruments in a beating heart via the system described here, complex and invasive open heart procedures as well as cardiopulmonary bypass can be avoided, significantly reducing patient trauma and recovery time as well as operation time and complexity. The system disclosed includes an optical imaging system to provide the practitioner with visual imagery from the end of the system, and allow for real-time or near real-time imaging of tissue inside the beating heart (e.g., leaflet tissue). This provides for accurate verification of placement of the interventional instrument. In addition, the system includes a grasping mechanism, which allows the practitioner to hold tissue in position prior to placing the interventional instrument.
