14. A method of deploying a heart treatment device at a target site, the heart treatment device comprising a valve corrector for restoring proper function to a native mitral valve, an occluder and a connector interconnecting the valve corrector and the occluder, the method comprising:
-
introducing a delivery device to the left atrium, the delivery device including an outer shaft, a plunger, an inner rod disposed within the outer shaft and translatable relative to the outer shaft, and a hook disposed on a distal end of the inner rod; advancing the plunger to deploy the occluder from the outer shaft at the site of the left atrial appendage; withdrawing the outer shaft toward the interatrial septum to deploy the valve corrector adjacent the native mitral valve; positioning the valve corrector at the native mitral valve to restore proper function to the native mitral valve; and removing the delivery device from the left atrium. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
