Abstract

Annuloplasty device for use on a posterior annulus of a mitral valve, which is deployable to the mitral valve by means of a vascular delivery device, such as a catheter, and positionable along the curvature of the annulus, including at least a first and a second branch, each configured to extend along at least a section of the annulus, with a first end and a second end, at least one guiding means for guiding the first and the second branches relative to one another, at least one fixing means for fixing the device to the annulus, and at least one anchor means arranged on each of the first and second branches, whereby the first and the second branches are movable relatively to one another, so that the anchor means engage with the annulus thereby pulling the annulus together when the first and second branches are moved in opposite directions.
