An implantable medical device for transcatheter delivery, which includes an anchor unit (100) configured to be anchored at an annulus of a cardiac valve of a patient, at least one coupling unit (200) that extends along a first length radially from said anchor unit (100) towards a coaptation line of said valve and including an extension unit (400) extending along a second length. The extension unit (400) is configured to cross between the leaflets of the cardiac valve in order to fill out for an insufficient closing of the valve leaflets of said cardiac valve.

Methods and devices that prevent stasis in the LAA by either increasing the flow through the LAA or by closing off or sealing the LAA. Increasing the flow is accomplished through shunts, flow diverters, agitators, or by increasing the size of the ostium. Closing off the LAA is accomplished using seals or by cinching the LAA.

The present invention relates to an apparatus (500) for supporting the heart action, preferably by displacing the heart base (110) and/or the aortic root (201), comprising at least a first anchor (501) and a pulling device or guiding device (502, 503, 732, 732a, 732b) for moving the first anchor (501), wherein the first anchor (501) is provided and designed for implantation in or on the heart base (110), the heart skeleton (120), the aortic root (201) and/or a structure in local proximity to the aortic root (210), and/or comprising at least one lifting drive (502, 503). The present invention further relates to a control device (901), an insertion system, a kit and a method for supporting the heart action.

Devices, systems, and methods for combinatorial treatment of a condition with an implantable damping device and therapeutic agent (e.g., drug) are disclosed herein. Methods for treating one or more effects of the condition, such as a neurological condition, include providing the implantable damping device and at least neck one other therapy, such as a therapeutic agent, that treats the condition to the patient. The implantable damping device includes a flexible damping member and an abating substance and can be placed in apposition with a blood vessel. The flexible damping member forms a generally tubular structure having an inner and an outer surface, the inner surface formed of a sidewall having a partially deformable portion. The abating substance is disposed within the partially deformable portion and moves longitudinally and/or radially within the partially deformable portion in response to pulsatile blood flow.
