A self-anchoring cardiac harness is configured to fit at least a portion of a patient~s heart and includes a tissue engaging element for frictionally engaging an outer surface of a heart. The engaging element produces sufficient friction relative to the outer surface or the heart, so that the harness does not migrate substantially relative to the heart. There is enough force created by the engaging element that there is no need to apply a suture to the heart in order to retain the cardiac harness. Further, the engaging element is adapted to engage the outer surface of the heart without substantially penetrating the outer surface.

L'invention concerne un harnais cardiaque à auto-ancrage conçu pour être appliqué à au moins une partie du coeur d'un patient, et qui comprend un élément entrant en contact par frottement avec une surface tissulaire extérieure du coeur. Cet élément produit suffisamment de frottement par rapport à la surface extérieure du coeur pour empêcher le harnais de se déplacer sensiblement par rapport au coeur. Une force suffisante étant produite par cet élément, il n'est pas nécessaire d'appliquer une suture sur le coeur pour retenir le harnais. De plus, l'élément est conçu pour entrer en contact avec la surface extérieure du coeur sans pénétrer sensiblement dans celle-ci.
