The cinching apparatus (800) comprising: an anchoring component having a distal end a proximal end; the distal end of the anchoring component having an engaging member (805). A locking component (815) and a tension member (820) wherein the anchoring component is enabled to be positioned on a first target site of a tissue component and the locking component (815) is enabled to be positioned on a second target site of a tissue component of the heart, and the tension member (820) can be coupled to both the anchoring component and the locking component (815) to adjust the distance between the first and second target sites.

La présente invention concerne des procédés et appareils pour contrôler les dimensions d'une valve cardiaque. Un mode de réalisation de la présente invention à titre d'exemple concerne un procédé visant à améliorer la morphologie de la valve. Le procédé consiste tout d'abord à fixer un composant d'ancrage à un premier site ciblé sur un composant de tissu du cAEur. Ensuite, un composant de verrouillage est fixé à un second site ciblé sur un composant de tissu du cAEur. Ensuite, un élément de tension est accouplé au composant d'ancrage et l'élément de tension est couplé au composant de verrouillage. On ajuste ensuite la distance entre le premier site ciblé et le second site cible en activant l'élément de tension. L'élément de tension peut ensuite être verrouillé en place avec le composant de verrouillage.
