METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING MITRAL REGURGITATION

摘要

A method for reducing mitral regurgitation includes deploying deforming matter (157) into a selected one of a mitral valve annulus adjacent a posterior leaflet and tissue adjacent the mitral valve annulus proximate the posterior leaflet, to cause a conformational change in the annulus, and thereby a conformational change in the posterior leaflet, to increase mitral valve leaflet coaptation.
