The PASCAL device (Edwards LifeSciences) is another device that accomplishes leaflet coaptation. The device has a pair of paddles, placed 180° apart, which capture the edge of the anterior and posterior leaflet. A spacer in the middle is used to reduce the regurgitant orifice area, and the device allows independent leaflet grasping, giving it the potential for use in patients with more complex anatomy (Fig. 8.13) [123].
