Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Navigation and tissue capture systems and methods for navigation to and/or capture of selected tissue using the innate electrical activity of the selected tissue and/or other tissue are described. In the context of left atrial appendage closure, the systems and methods can be used to navigate to the left atrial appendage and capture/control the appendage while a closure instrument (suture, clip, ring) is placed over the appendage and tightened down or a closure method (ablation, cryogenic procedures, stapling, etc.) is performed to close the left atrial appendage. The use of innate electrical activity for navigating devices may be used in connection with other tissues and/or areas of the body.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A navigation and tissue capture system comprising: a capture device comprising a first jaw and a second jaw, wherein the first jaw and the second jaw comprise an open configuration in which the first jaw and the second jaw are open and a closed configuration in which the first jaw and the second jaw are closed, wherein an interior surface of the first jaw is located closer to an interior surface of the second jaw when the first jaw and the second jaw a…
