Implants, implant systems, and methods for treatment of mitral valve regurgitation and other valve diseases generally include a coaptation assist body which remains within the blood flow path as the leaflets of the valve move, the valve bodies often being relatively thin, elongate (along the blood flow path), and/or conformable structures which extend laterally from commissure to commissure, allowing the native leaflets to engage and seal against the large, opposed surfaces on either side of the valve body during the heart cycle phase when the ventricle contracts to empty that chamber of blood, and allows blood to pass around the valve body so that blood flows from the atrium to the ventricle during the filling phase of the heart cycle. Separate deployment of independent anchors near each of the commissures may facilitate positioning and support of an exemplary triangular valve body, with a third anchor being deployed in the ventricle. An outer surface of the valve body may accommodate tissue ingrowth or endothelialization, while a fluid-absorbing matrix can swell after introduction into the heart. The valve body shape may be selected after an anchor has been deployed, and catheter-based deployment systems may have a desirable low profile.

1. A method for treating mal-coaptation of a heart valve in a patient, the heart valve having an annulus and first and second leaflets, the annulus defining a valve axis extending along a blood flow path, the first and second leaflets having a coaptation zone defining a curve extending across the flow path, the method comprising: introducing an implant into the heart while the implant is in a first configuration;deploying the implant from the first configuration to a second configuration within the heart, the implant in the second configuration having a coaptation assist body with first and second opposed coaptation surfaces;supporting the implant in a position in which the first coaptation surface is in position to coapt with the first leaflet of the heart valve; andpositioning a hub of the implant, wherein the hub allows relative rotation between a helical anchor and the implant. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein supporting the implant further comprises supporting the implant in a position in which the second coaptation surface is in position to coapt with the second leaflet of the heart valve. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the coaptation assist body of the implant defines a curve extending across the blood flow path of the valve, the curve of the coaptation assist body corresponding to the curve of the coaptation zone. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein implant is deployed so that the coaptation assist body has an axial length, a thickness between the coaptation surfaces, and a commissure-to-commissure width, the thickness being less than 15% of the width. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein implant is deployed so that the coaptation assist body has an axial length, a thickness between the coaptation surfaces, and a commissure-to-commissure width, the length being at least 75% of the width. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein deploying the implant comprises removing the coaptation assist body from within a surrounding deployment catheter and laterally expanding the coaptation assist body from an insertion profile to a deployed profile. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the mal-coaptation of the valve varies along the curve, further comprising characterizing the variation in mal-coaptation along the curve, wherein a thickness of the deployed coaptation assist body between the first coaptation surface and the second coaptation surface varies along the curve in response to the characterization of the variation in mal-coaptation. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising rotating the helical anchor. 9. A coaptation assist implant for treating mal-coaptation of a heart valve in a patient, the heart valve having an annulus and first and second leaflets, the annulus defining a valve axis extending along a blood flow path, the first and second leaflets having a coaptation zone defining a curve extending across the flow path, the implant comprising: a coaptation assist body having an axis and first and second opposed major coaptation surfaces, each coaptation surface extending laterally between a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge of the coaptation assist body, the coaptation assist body introducible into the heart and supportable within the heart so that the axis of the coaptation assist body extends along the axis of the valve with the first and second lateral sides of the coaptation assist body extending along the curve of the coaptation zone of the heart valve;the coaptation assist body deployable from a first configuration to a second configuration by removing the coaptation assist body from within a surrounding deployment catheter; andwherein the coaptation assist body has an insertion volume within the deployment catheter and a deployed volume greater than the insertion volume, and wherein the coaptation assist body is volumetrically expandable within the heart so as to increase a thickness of the coaptation assist device between the first and second coaptation surfaces. 10. The implant of claim 9, wherein coaptation assist body is deployable by laterally unrolling, unforcing, and/or unfolding the coaptation assist body within the heart. 11. The implant of claim 9, wherein the coaptation assist body comprises a permeable material, and wherein the coaptation assist body is configured to volumetrically expand when released in the heart without the coaptation assist body being inflated using inflation fluid introduced from outside a vascular system of the patient. 12. The implant of claim 11, wherein the coaptation assist body comprises a tissue-ingrowth material layer disposed over a core material, the core material expanding when released inside the heart. 13. The implant of claim 11, wherein the coaptation assist body comprises a layer of ePTFE over a foam or other liquid absorbing matrix. 14. A method of treating mal-coaptation of a heart valve in a patient, the heart valve having an annulus and first and second leaflets, the annulus defining a valve axis extending along a blood flow path, the first and second leaflets having a coaptation zone, the method comprising: introducing an implant having a coaptation assist body with first and second opposed coaptation surfaces into the heart valve;supporting the implant so that the coaptation assist body is disposed within the coaptation zone;positioning a hub of the implant, the hub comprising an outer collar and a pin extending therethrough, wherein the pin is configured to engage helical threads of an anchor passing above and below the pin adjusting a curvature of the coaptation assist body. 15. The method of claim 14, further comprising adjusting curvature of the coaptation assist body, wherein adjusting the axial curvature of the coaptation assist body further comprises: tensioning a tether coupled to the downstream end of the coaptation assist body to cause the curvature of the coaptation assist body to change by changing a distance between the upstream and downstream ends of the coaptation assist body; andengaging a lock of the tether at the upstream end of the coaptation assist body to constrain the distance between the upstream and downstream ends of the coaptation assist body. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein introducing the implant into the heart valve comprises introducing the implant in a first configuration, and then deploying the implant from the first configuration to a second configuration. 17. The method of claim 14, further comprising anchoring the downstream end of the coaptation assist body to ventricular tissue of the heart. 18. The method of claim 14, further comprising anchoring the upstream end of the coaptation assist body to the annulus of the heart valve. 19. The method of claim 14, further comprising anchoring the upstream end of the coaptation assist body to the heart near a first commissure of the heart valve and near a second commissure of the heart valve. 20. The method of claim 14, further comprising rotating the anchor.
