1. A coaptation implant comprising:
- a coaptation surface configured for an anterior leaflet of a valve to coapt against;
a superior edge, lateral edges, and an inferior edge, wherein the superior edge has a length greater than a length of the inferior edge, such that a transverse distance between lateral edges generally decreases from the superior edge to the inferior edge of the coaptation implant;
wherein an annular curve radius of the coaptation implant is a measurement defining a curvature of the superior edge of the coaptation implant, andwherein an overall element arc length of the coaptation implant is a measurement from the superior edge to the inferior edge of the coaptation implant measured along an anterior surface of the coaptation implant.
