ABSTRACT:
Devices, systems, methods and kits are provided for delivering interventional devices to a target location with a body. Such interventional devices particularly include fixation devices or any devices which approximate tissue, such as valve leaflets. The delivery devices and systems direct the interventional device to the target location through a minimally invasive approach, such as through the patient's vasculature, and provide for manipulation of the interventional device at the target location, such as to approximate tissue. Optionally, the delivery devices and systems may provide for decoupling of the interventional device, allowing the interventional device to be left behind as an implant.
