A deflecting guide catheter for use in minimally invasive medical procedures such as the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation by reshaping the mitral valve annulus using one or more plications of annular or adjacent tissue each fixed by a retainer is described. The catheter includes an elongated tubular portion having various durometers along its length and at least one puller wire attached to an anchor band near the distal end. The deflecting guide catheter is used to provide a means for guiding a plication device or other medical instrument into a desired position within the vasculature or heart chambers of a patient.

L'invention concerne un cathéter avec guide de déviation pour utilisation dans des procédures médicales peu invasives comme le traitement de la régurgitation de valve mitrale par reconformage de l'anneau de valve mitrale en utilisant une ou plusieurs plicatures de tissu annulaire ou adjacent, chacune étant fixée par un système de retenue. Le cathéter comporte une partie tubulaire allongée présentant divers duromètres sur sa longueur et au moins un fil tendeur fixé à une bande d'ancrage près de l'extrémité distale. Le cathéter avec guide de déviation permet d'obtenir un moyen de guidage d'un dispositif de plicature ou autre instrument médical vers une position voulue dans la vasculature ou les chambres cardiaques d'un patient.
