44. A valve repair device, comprising:
an atrial fixation member configured to press against cardiac tissue proximate to a native valve annulus;
a coaptation member extending away from the atrial fixation member and radially inward from the atrial fixation member, the coaptation member comprising an inner portion having a coaptation surface configured to coapt with a first native leaflet during systole, an outer portion configured to displace at least a portion of a second native leaflet, and a downstream end portion, wherein the coaptation member is substantially stationary during cardiac cycles, and wherein the coaptation defines an interior volume and an opening to the interior volume; and
a plurality of clip mechanisms depending from the coaptation member, wherein each of the clip mechanisms is independently actuatable via a delivery component inserted through the opening in the coaptation member and into the interior volume of the coaptation member to move the clip mechanism between a closed position and an open position.
