Abstract: A device for correcting mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation. The device connects the leaflet bases of the posterior and anterior mitral leaflets to each other with a stabilizing element extended transversely across the valve annulus. The stabilizing element is by first and second ends secured into a first and a second position respectively at the valve annulus using sutures, anchors or clips. Coaptation is attained, by reducing the length of the stabilizing element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the correction of mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation. More particularly this means that he leaflet bases of the posterior and anterior mitral leaflets are connected to each other with a stabilizing element (14) extended transversely across the valve annulus (13). Said stabilizing element (14) is by first (22) and second (24) ends secured into a first (26) and a second (28) position respectively at said valve annulus (13) by means of sutures, anchors or clips. Coaptation is attained, by reducing the length of the stabilizing element (14) from D1 to D2.

Abstract: The regenerative photo-electrochemical cell comprises a polycrystalline metal oxide semiconductor layer having a substantially monomolecular chromophore layer in a surface zone. The surface of the metal oxide semiconductor layer has a roughness factor of more than 20, preferably more than 200. Photo-electrochemical cells having such metal oxide semiconductors have good monochromatic efficiency using redox systems with iodides or bromides.
