1. A method for use with a heart of a subject, the method comprising:
- making a transapical puncture into a left ventricle of the heart;
making a transseptal fenestration in the heart via the transapical puncture;
delivering a prosthetic valve via the transapical puncture and implanting the prosthetic valve at a mitral valve of the heart; and
subsequently to delivering the prosthetic valve and making the transseptal fenestration, closing the transapical puncture.
