SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSAPICAL ACCESS AND CLOSURE |
摘要 |
Embodiments are described for creating and closing tissue access ports, such as transapical access ports, which involve placement of an introducer across the subject tissue structure, and deployment of a controllable port closure device assembly configured to remain in place with a ratcheting mechanism, and to hold the tissue surrounding the previous access port location closed against a sealing disc with proximal and distal strut assemblies, after the introducer has been removed. |

1. A system for providing surgical access across a wall of a tissue structure, comprising:
a. a delivery member having proximal and distal ends; b. a first helical member having proximal and distal ends and a helical shape, the proximal end coupled to the delivery member distal end, the distal end extending distally from the delivery member distal end; c. an anchor member removably coupled to the helical member distal end; d. a suture member coupled distally to a portion of the anchor member and extending proximally to a position wherein at least a portion of it may be freely manipulated by an operator; and e. an elongate instrument at least partially inserted through the first helical member; wherein upon rotation of the delivery member in a first direction, the first helical member and coupled anchor member are advanced across at least a portion of the wall of the tissue structure, pulling along the distal portion of the suture member in a deployed suture pattern which remains coupled to the anchor member, the deployed suture pattern being characterized in that it represents a number of helical loops encapsulated by the wall of the tissue structure that is greater than about one and one-half helical loops, and is deployed in a substantially helical configuration selected to movably accommodate the elongate instrument therethrough. |
