1. A prosthetic spacer system comprising:
a sheath having a lumen, wherein the sheath extends from a proximal end to a distal end;
a prosthetic spacer device disposed in the lumen of the sheath, the prosthetic spacer device comprising:
a spacer body;
a first ventricular anchor coupled to the spacer body;
a first atrial anchor coupled to the spacer body;
wherein the first ventricular anchor and the first atrial anchor are configured to capture a first native valve leaflet;
