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 method of navigating a device to a left atrial appendage, the method comprising: delivering a capture device on a capture shaft into a pericardial sac, wherein the capture device comprises a first jaw and a second jaw, wherein each of the first jaw and the second jaw comprises an interior surface, 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 wh…
