Abstract
A percutaneous magnetic catheter may be used to position one or more magnetic components near a magnetically driven prosthesis in a patient's heart in order to adjust the magnetically driven prosthesis. In certain embodiments, the one or more magnetic components are rotatable. Rotation of the one or more magnetic components cause variations in a magnetic field. Variations in the magnetic field may be utilized to adjust the size or shape of a magnetically driven prosthesis. In this way, a magnetically driven prosthesis may be adjusted after a patient has recovered from a surgery in which the magnetically driven prosthesis was implanted. Further, a magnetically driven prosthesis may be adjusted based upon progression of a heart condition.
