APPLICATOR AND LIGATION DEVICE
A ligation device that includes a clip device including an openable arm, a connector connected to the clip device and is able to be released from the connector, a wire connected to the connector and configured to operate the clip device, and a pipe including an opening into which the wire is inserted. An inner diameter of the opening is smaller than a dimension in a diameter direction of the connector in a first state in which the connector and the clip device are connected with each other, and the inner diameter of the opening decreases towards a proximal end side of the pipe and is larger than the dimension of the connector in a second state in which the connector and the clip device are unconnected with each other.

Systems and methods for intra-procedural cardiac pressure monitoring
The present disclosure relates to delivery devices and interventional devices configured to enable monitoring of pressure and other hemodynamic properties before, during, and/or after a cardiac procedure. A guide catheter includes a routing lumen or a routing groove for routing a sensor wire to a desired location during a cardiac procedure. A guide catheter includes one or more pressure sensors positioned to provide desired pressure measurements when the guide catheter is deploying an interventional device. An interventional device may also include one or more associated sensors for providing hemodynamic information before, during, and/or after deployment.

IMPLANT FOR HEART VALVE
A heart valve repair system includes a delivery sheath and an implant that includes a frame having a surface configured to contact an upstream surface of a native heart valve. First and second gripping members are coupled to the frame and each (1) includes first and second arms and (2) is configured to clamp a respective native leaflet. The implant is disposed in the sheath in a delivery state in which the frame defines a wall fully surrounding a central longitudinal axis of the implant. The distal end of the wall defines a distal opening of the frame. The distal end of the wall is disposed proximally to the entire first tissue-engaging surface of each of the gripping members and proximally to the entire second tissue-engaging surface of each of the gripping members. Other embodiments are also described.

DEVICES AND METHODS FOR APPLYING A HEMOSTASIS CLIP ASSEMBLY
A device for applying a hemostatic clip assembly includes a proximal delivery catheter having a handle assembly and an elongated catheter body defining a longitudinal axis extending distally from the handle assembly, and a distal clip assembly removably connected to a distal end of the catheter body. The distal clip assembly includes a distal clip housing, a jaw assembly and a jaw adapter yoke. The jaw assembly has a pair of jaw members fixed to the distal clip housing by a first pin oriented orthogonally relative to the longitudinal axis. The jaw adapter yoke is operatively connected to the jaw members. The proximal delivery catheter is configured to transmit linear motion along and torsion about the longitudinal axis to at least a portion of the distal clip assembly. At least one of the jaw members is configured to rotate about the first pin between an open and a closed configuration.
