Description
この縫合デバイス及びそれらの使用方法は、傷、及び自然にできた孔又は通路、又は手術によってできた孔又は通路の治療(例えば、閉じる)などの種々の処置に対して有用であり得る。例えば、縫合デバイスは、心臓弁などの解剖学的弁の治療に使用され得る。心臓弁には、弱っていたり伸びていたりする可能性のある心臓弁や、適切に閉じることができなくなるような先天性欠陥などの他の構造的欠陥を含む心臓弁が含まれる。一実施例においては、例えば、三尖弁、肺動脈弁、僧帽弁、及び大動脈弁などの弁を治療又は修復するために、1つ又は複数の縫合デバイスが使用され得る。一実施例においては、Alfieri法(エッジ・トゥ・エッジ・リペア)、腱索の取り替え、腱索の短縮、パッチの適用、弁尖の形状変更、並びに、例えばリングや生物学的又は機械的代替弁などの人工器官の取り付けなどの処置を実施するために、1つ又は複数の縫合デバイスが使用され得る。
