Device for changing the shape of the mitral annulus

An elongate body (10) including a proximal and distal anchor, and a bridge (16) between the proximal (12) and distal (14) anchors. The bridge has an elongated state, having first axial length, and a shortened state, having a second axial length, wherein the second axial length is shorter than the fi...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An elongate body (10) including a proximal and distal anchor, and a bridge (16) between the proximal (12) and distal (14) anchors. The bridge has an elongated state, having first axial length, and a shortened state, having a second axial length, wherein the second axial length is shorter than the first axial length. A resorbable thread (420) may be woven into the bridge to hold the bridge in the elongated state and to delay the transfer of the bridge to the shortened state. In an additional embodiment, there may be one or more central anchors between the proximal and distal anchors with a bridge connecting adjacent anchors.
