HEART IMPLANT SYSTEM

Abstract

A heart implant system (1) comprises a heart implant (2, 20) and a delivery catheter (3) detachably attached to the heart implant to percutaneously deliver the heart implant to a heart (60) of a subject. The heart implant comprises an anchoring assembly (4) comprising an anchoring hub (8) and first petals (9) and second petals (10) hingedly attached to the anchoring hub and adjustable relative to the anchoring hub between a crimped delivery configuration and an uncrimped deployed configuration in which the first petals extend radially outwardly of the anchoring hub to limit distal movement of the implant and the second petals form an expandable conforming cage configured to create a stabilising apposition to a wall of a target locus for the implant.
