Device for carrying out a transapical mitral valve annuloplasty

摘要

The device is intended to be positioned in a sealed introducer arranged in the thoracic cavity between two ribs in order to penetrate into the left ventricle, passing through the apex of the heart. According to the invention, the device comprises a body (1) equipped with a handle (2) and at least one control member (3) capable of acting on an assembly for installing and securing a braid (T) to the mitral ring by means of suturing elements (S), said assembly has means capable of enabling the extraction of a suture through the mitral valve while also being capable of enclosing the braid and becoming anchored to the periphery of the mitral ring under the clamping effect of said suture, exerting two opposing pressure-bearing forces.
