Anchor (1) for repair of mitral valve prolapse by fixing mitral valve leaflets into the physiological position. The anchor (1) having an elongated shape is provided with at least one aperture (2) for passing of a thread (3). The anchor can have a shape of cylinder, ellipsoid or prism. The anchor (1) can be also made by a roll of an elastic sheet. The anchor (1) provided with the thread (3) is pushed into the left ventricle (8) through the hollow needle (5) using a guide wire (4). After removing the hollow needle (5) the anchor captures the mitral valve leaflet (7) and transfers it into the physiological position and fix it in this position by securing the thread (3) to the apex of the heart.
