<p>The present invention relates substantially to a device for repair of heart valves, and more particularly to an improved annuloplasty band which is constituted by a semirigid open band comprising a sheath and a generally curved stiffening semirigid element disposed within the sheath which extends from a first end adjacent the antero-lateral trigone to a second end adjacent the postero-medial trigone defining a non flat (not coplanar) compound C-curve shape so as to mime both in anterior and posterior side a saddle shape.</p> |
