From: Percutaneous “edge-to-edge” leaflet repair in patients with secondary mitral valve regurgitation

Figure 2. The PASCAL implant consists of a 10 mm central nitinol woven spacer that acts as a filler in the regurgitant orifice of the MV, and in its closed conformation is attached to the valve leaflets by two paddles and clasps. Differently from the MitraClip system, each of the 2 clasps can be activated independently and the device can take an elongated form. LA: left atrium; LV: left ventricle; MV: mitral valve
