MITRAL VALVE CONSTRICTING DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A device, system and method for treating a mitral valve is disclosed. The device is implantable in the coronary sinus of the heart to partially encircle the mitral valve annulus. The device is elongated, is resilient, and has a preformed arched configuration. When the device is implanted in the coronary sinus, the device exerts a substantially radially inward force to the mitral valve to restore mitral valve annulus geometry.
