A medical apparatus (40) and method suitable for remodeling a mitral valve annulus adjacent to the coronary sinus (22). The apparatus comprises an elongate body (66) having a proximal region (42) and a distal region (44). Each of the proximal (42) and distal (44) regions is dimensioned to reside completely within the vascular system. The elongate body (66) may be moved from a first configuration for transluminal delivery to at least a portion of the coronary sinus (22) to a second configuration for remodeling the mitral valve annulus proximate the coronary sinus (22). A forming element (56) may be attached to the elongate body (66) for manipulating the elongate body (66) from the first transluminal configuration to the second remodeling configuration. Further, the elongate body (320) may comprise a tube (325) having a plurality of transverse slots (330) therein.
L'invention concerne une méthode et un appareil (40) médicaux appropriés au remodelage d'un anneau mitral adjacent au sinus coronaire (22). Ledit appareil comprend un corps allongé (66) doté de régions proximale (42) et distale (44). Chacune desdites régions (42, 44) est dimensionnée pour se loger complètement à l'intérieur dudit système vasculaire. On peut déplacer ce corps allongé (66) d'une première position d'administration transluminale au niveau au moins d'une portion du sinus coronaire (22), à une seconde position de remodelage de l'anneau mitral à proximité du sinus coronaire (22). On peut attacher un composant (56) au corps allongé (66) de manière à manipuler ledit corps allongé (66) de la première à la seconde position. En outre, ledit corps allongé (320) peut renfermer un tube (325) pourvu d'une pluralité de fentes transversales (330).
