  • System and method to effect the mitral valve annulus of a heart
    Patent number: 7503931
    Abstract: An assembly for effecting the condition of a mitral valve annulus includes a mitral valve therapy device, a coupling structure carried by the device, a catheter, a second coupling structure, and a locking member. To implant the device, the device is first releasably locked to a pushing member by the coupling structures and the locking member. When the device is positioned within the coronary sinus adjacent the mitral valve annulus and deployed, the coupling structures may be released from each other by the release of the locking member.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 23, 2005
    Date of Patent: March 17, 2009
