DEVICE FOR TREATMENT OF MITRAL INSUFFICIENCY

摘要

A device for treatment of mitral annulus dilatation comprises an elongate bo dy having two states. In a first of these states the elongate body is insertabl e into the coronary sinus and has a shape adapting to the shape of coronary sinus. When positioned in the coronary sinus, the elongate body is transferable to the second state assuming a reduced radius of curvature, whereby the radius of curvature of the coronary sinus and the radius of curvature as well as the circumference of the mitral annulus is reduced. The elongate body comprises a distal stent section, a proximal stent section and control wires for reducing the distance between the distal and proximal sten t sections.
