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. An apparatus for closing a defect in a tissue wall, comprising:
a. a base member having a proximal end and a distal end and an externally projecting seal member disposed therebetween and configured to interface with at least a portion of the tissue wall to assist in sealing the defect, the proximal end being configured to be manually manipulated by an operator;
wherein the externally projecting seal member defines an outer seal margin defining an outer seal diameter; b. a first plurality of bendable strut members coupled to the distal end of the base member and configured to occupy a collapsed configuration when bent in place toward the base member, and an expanded configuration when unrestrained;
wherein in the collapsed configuration, each of the bendable strut members project out from a coupling junction with the distal portion of the base member, sweep toward the proximal end of the base member, and bend toward the outer seal margin; c. a proximal hub member movably and coaxially coupled about the outside of the base member and advanceable along a length of the base member; and d. a second plurality of bendable strut members coupled to the proximal hub member and configured to occupy a collapsed configuration when bent in place toward the base member, and an expanded configuration when unrestrained;
wherein in the collapsed configuration, each of the bendable strut members project out from a coupling junction with the proximal hub member and sweep toward the distal end of the base member. |
