A bracing device for stabilizing cardiac catheters inside the heart was developed to provide surgical-level dexterity to minimally invasive catheter-based procedures for cardiac valve disease. The brace was designed to have a folding structure, which lies flat along a catheter during navigation through vasculature and then unfolds into a rigid bracing configuration after deployment across the interatrial septum. The brace was designed to be easily deployable, provide bracing support for a transseptal catheter, and also be compliant enough to be delivered to the heart via tortuous vasculature. This aims to improve dexterity in catheter-based mitral valve repair and enable other complex surgical procedures to be done with minimally invasive instruments.
