Abstract

The present invention provides methods and devices for closing two overlapping layers of tissue in a mammalian heart, for example a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The closure devices (40) may take a number of different forms and may be retrievable. In some embodiments, the closure devices may be delivered with a catheter (38) capable of puncturing mammalian tissue.
