A device and method for reducing ventricular dilation by placing one or more cardiac bridges into vessels extending along a length of the ventricle. Each cardiac bridge preferably includes a pair of anchors and a bridge member secured therebetween. The tension in the bridge member is increased to compress the ventricle and thereby reduce the dilation, In another embodiment, the bridge member is tensioned to reshape the left ventricle for reducing tension on the chordae tendinae in the heart to improve valve function.

L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé pour produire une dilatation ventriculaire par placement d'un ou plusieurs ponts cardiaques dans des vaisseaux s'étendant suivant la longueur du ventricule. Chaque pont cardiaque comprenant de préférence une paire d'ancres et un organe formant pont fixé entre elles. La tension dans l'organe formant pont est augmentée pour compléter le ventricule et régler ainsi la dilatation. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'organe formant pont est mis en tension pour remettre en forme le ventricule gauche pour réduire la tension sur le cordage tendineux dans le cur pour améliorer la fonction des valvules.
