The present disclosure is directed to an external cardiac basal annuloplasty system (ECBAS or BACE-System: basal annuloplasty of the cardia externally) and methods for treatment of regurgitation of mitral and tricuspid valves. The BACE-System provides the ability to correct leakage of regurgitation of the valves with or without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass, particularly when the condition is related to dilation of the base of the heart. This ECBAS invention can be applied to the base of the heart epicardially, either to prevent further dilation or to actively reduce the size of the base of the heart.

La présente invention concerne un système d'annuloplastie basale cardiaque externe (ECBAS ou système BACE: annuloplastie basale du coeur par voie externe), ainsi que des méthodes de traitement de la régurgitation des valvules mitrale et tricuspide. Ce système BACE permet de corriger la fuite de régurgitation des valvules avec ou sans utilisation d'une dérivation cardio-pulmonaire, notamment lorsque l'état pathologique est associé à une dilatation de la base du coeur. Le système ECBAS de l'invention peut être mis en application sur la base du coeur par voie épicardique en vue d'empêcher une nouvelle dilatation ou de réduire activement la taille de la base du coeur.
