A septal closure and port device for implantation in the atrial septum of a patient's heart includes an expandable frame having a central portion defining a lumen, and first and second opposing end portions. The frame is configured to expand and contract between a compressed, tubular configuration for delivery through the patient's vasculature and an expanded configuration in which the first and second end portions extend radially outwardly from the opposite ends of the central portion. The device can further include a valve member supported on the frame and positioned to block at least the flow of blood from the left atrium to the right atrium through the lumen of the frame. The valve member is configured to permit a medical instrument to be inserted through the lumen and into the left atrium, such as for performing a subsequent medical procedure in the left side of the heart.

Atrial appendage occlusion devices and cardiac monitoring positioned within the left atrial appendage and/or left atrium. In some embodiments the devices include an anchoring portion adapted to anchor the device in place adjacent the left atrial appendage, the anchoring portion comprising distal deformable anchoring portion adapted to be deployed in the left atrial appendage and a proximal deformable anchoring portion being adapted to be deployed in the left atrium, a barrier element secured to the anchoring portion and adapted to cover the left atrial appendage when implanted, and adapted to prevent blood clots from passing through the barrier element, and a cardiac monitoring element secured to at least one of the anchoring portions, the monitoring element including one or more sensors within in the left atrial appendage and/or left atrium and adapted to monitor left atrial cardiac data.

A hemostatic device for sealing a puncture of a vessel includes a first tube defining a first lumen, and a malecot coupled to the first tube. The malecot is selectively actuatable from a neutral configuration to a stopper configuration. The hemostatic device also includes a second tube circumscribing at least a portion of the first tube. The second tube at least partially defines a second lumen and a third lumen. The second tube includes a first opening in flow communication with the third lumen and positioned proximally relative to the malecot. The second tube is selectively orientable to at least partially expose a hemocoagulant agent retained in the second lumen.

Devices for puncturing, anchoring in the tissue of a human heart, and sealing the puncture and methods of puncturing, deploying anchors, and sealing the puncture are disclosed. The anchors are used to remodel the shape of the heart. The devices and methods use sealing structures to prevent blood leak through a passage formed by puncturing the heart tissue.

The present disclosure provides a variety of prostheses, delivery systems and techniques to facilitate closure of transvascular or transcameral access ports. Various embodiments of prostheses are provided including a plurality of radially expandable discs that can be filled with material to facilitate coagulation and to reduce or stop leakage from punctures in vessel walls.

The disclosure pertains to hemostatic compositions comprising a plurality of nonwoven fibers disposed in a rapidly soluble solid matrix and methods of making and using the same. The compositions may also comprise one or more therapeutic agents.

Devices and methods for assisting cardiac function. In an exemplary embodiment of a device for assisting heart function of the present disclosure, the device includes a first plate and an opposing second plate, each plate having an inner surface, a cardiac processor coupled to at least one of the first plate and the second plate, a bladder having an inner chamber and disposed between the inner surfaces, and a first catheter having a proximal end in communication with the inner chamber of the bladder and a distal end having a first pericardial balloon coupled thereto, wherein a gas and/or a liquid within the inner chamber of the bladder can be injected into the first pericardial balloon upon compression of the first plate relative to the second plate, and wherein the gas and/or the liquid can be removed from the first pericardial balloon upon retraction of the first plate relative to the second plate.
