A mitral valve therapy device (30) effects the condition of a mitral valve annulus (20) of a heart (10). The device (30) includes an elongated member (32) dimensioned to be placed in the coronary sinus (14) of the heart (10) adjacent the mitral valve annulus (20). The elongated member (32) is flexible when placed in the heart (10) in a first orientation to position the device (30) in the coronary sinus (14) adjacent the mitral valve annulus (20) and relatively inflexible when rotated into a second orientation after the device (30) is positioned in the coronary sinus (14) adjacent to the mitral valve annulus (20) to substantially straighten and increase the radius of curvature of the mitral valve annulus (20).

Cette invention concerne un dispositif de réparation de la valvule mitrale (30) destiné à remettre en état l'anneau (20) de valvule mitrale d'un coeur (10). Le dispositif (30) comprend un élément allongé dimensionné pour être placé dans le sinus coronaire (14) du coeur (10) contre l'anneau de valvule mitrale (20). L'élément allongé (32) est souple lorsqu'il est placé dans le coeur (10) selon une première orientation en vue du positionnement du dispositif (30) dans le sinus coronaire (14) contre l'anneau de valvule mitrale (20), et relativement rigide lorsqu'il est tourné sur une seconde orientation une fois le dispositif (30) implanté dans le sinus coronaire (14) contre l'anneau de valvule mitrale (20) dans le but de redresser ledit anneau (20) et d'en accroître le rayon de courbure.
