| 摘要 | Apparatus is provided, including a tube (421) shaped to define a tube lumen at least one implant (100) reversibly coupled to the tube (421), and configured for implantation within a body of a patient. The apparatus also comprises two or more longitudinal guide members (470) disposed at least in part along a distal portion of the tube (421), the longitudinal guide members (470) having distal portions thereof configured to be reversibly coupled to the implant (100), and arranged such that application of a force to a first one of the longitudinal guide members (470) steers the distal portion of the tube (421) toward a first location along the implant (100), and application of a force to a second one of the longitudinal guide members (470) steers the distal portion of the tube (421) toward a second location along the implant (100). Other embodiments are also described. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method for facilitating treatment of a native atrioventricular valve of a body of a patient, the valve including an annulus and at least first and second leaflets, comprising: advancing an advancement catheter, which includes a tube shaped to define a tube lumen, toward the valve of the patient; advancing toward the valve at least one implant reversibly coupled to the tube by two or more longitudinal guide members, wherein respective distal portions of the longitudinal guide members are reversibly coupled to the implant, and respective portions of the longitudinal guide members are disposed at least in part along a distal portion of the tube; positioning the implant against the annulus of the patient; steering the distal portion of the tube toward, and the advancement catheter into contact with, a first location along the implant by pulling a first one of the two or more longitudinal guide members; and steering the distal portion of the tube toward, and the advancement catheter into contact with, a second location along the implant by pulling a second one of the two or more longitudinal guide members. | ||
