【発明の詳細な説明】
【0001】 本発明は、僧帽弁不全を処置、特に僧帽弁輪の拡張を処置する装置および方法
関するものである。
【0002】 僧帽弁不全は虚血性疾患、僧帽器官の変性疾患、リウマチ熱、心内膜炎、先天
性心臓疾患、心臓胸筋疾患(cardiomyopathy)のような幾つかの原因で生じる。
僧帽弁の4つの主な構造要素は輪、2つの葉状器官、索、および乳頭筋である。
さまざまな組合せにおいてそれらのいずれか1つまたは全ては損傷したり、不全
を生じ得る。輪拡張は、その原因に係わらずに僧帽弁不全の病理の主要因である
。さらに、多くの患者は後輪の拡張を主因または唯一の原因とする僧帽弁不全を

交換による他の危険は、心内膜炎の危険性である。これらの危険性、およびその
他の弁に関連する合併症は、弁を修復することによって著しく減少される。

【0010】 本発明の第2の目的は、組織をさほど冒さない外科術を用いて僧帽弁輪を縮小
させることである。
【0011】 前記目的、およびその他の目的は、請求項1で定義される装置、および請求項
7で定義される方法によって達成される。
【0012】 本発明によれば、僧帽弁不全の治療装置は、冠状洞内に挿入可能な寸法を有す

洞の形状に適合できる形状を有し、また伸長体は前記第1の状態から第2の状態
に移行して小さな曲率半径となることができ、これによって伸長体が冠状洞内に
配置された時に冠状洞の曲率半径および僧帽弁輪の周囲長が縮小される。
【0013】 伸長体を大きな曲率半径から小さな曲率半径となるように曲げおよび短縮して
第2の状態へ移行させるための手段が提供される。
【0014】 この移行手段は、好ましくは非対称の短縮によって伸長体を曲げおよび/また
は短縮する手段を含むことができる。
【0015】 さらに、伸長体は、第2の状態へ移行させる記憶材料を含むことができる。
【0016】 好ましい例では、伸長体はステント(stent) を含んで構成される。代替例に
おいて、本発明装置は幾つかのステント部分を含み、前記曲げおよび/または短

【0018】 したがって、本発明は僧帽弁輪に接近した冠状洞の位置を利用する。これは、
現在のカテーテル−ガイド技法を使用して修復を可能にする。

【0020】 成人では、冠状洞の筋道は僧帽弁の後葉状器官の内側付着箇所の5〜15mm
以内に近づく。正常体重の成人の解剖において実施した予備測定は、内側付着箇
所で5.3±0.6mmの距離、後葉状器官の横方向において約10mmという
