DEVICE FOR REPLACING THE CHORDAE TENDINEAE OF AN ATRIOVENTRICULAR VALVE

摘要

A device (10; 10'; 10'; 10'') for replacing the chordae tendineae (CT) of an atrioventricular valve comprises a cuspidal end (10a; 10a'; 10a'; 10a''), able to be fixed along a portion (C1P) of the free edge (FM) of a cusp (C1; AC1) of the atrioventricular valve, and an apical end (10b; 10b'; 10b'; 10b''), able to be fastened to an apex of a papillary muscle (MP) of the atrioventricular valve, and a plurality of cord elements (11; 11 '; 11 '; 11 '') extending between the cuspidal end and the apical end. The cord elements are connected together at at least one of said cuspidal end and apical end.
