Definitions

  • Some examples of the disclosure provide for a facilitated positioning of an annuloplasty device at a heart valve.
  • Fig. 2b is schematic illustration of the annuloplasty device in Fig. 2a, in a side view, according to an example
  • Fig. 5a is a schematic illustration of the annuloplasty device in Fig. 3, in a top-down view, according to an example
  • Fig. 10a is a schematic illustration of an annuloplasty device, in a perspective view, according to an example
  • the inverted section 124 may raise above the first posterior bow 113 in the axial direction 103’ along a width (wi) of the invented section 124.
  • the aforementioned width (wi) may be a fraction of a width (w 2 ) of the first or second support rings 101 , 102, in a direction essentially in parallel with the first or second anterior portions 114, 114’, as schematically illustrated in the example of Fig. 5c.
  • the fraction may be in the range 30 - 80%.
  • I.e. width wi may be 30 - 80% of width w 2 . This may provide for an advantageous compression of the tissue between the first and second anterior portions 114, 114’.
  • the width wi may in some examples be in the range 50 - 60 % of width w 2 , for a particularly advantageous and reliable positioning of the first and second anterior portions 114, 114’, on the opposite sides of the valve leaflets.
  • the inverted section 124 may extend in a direction essentially perpendicular to the second coil plane 102’. I.e. the first angle Vi may be an essentially right angle to the second coil plane 102’. This provides for an effective anchoring of the annuloplasty device 100 along the anterior side of the valve.
  • the first posterior bow 113 may be displaced a distance (I2) from the second posterior bow 113’ along a radial direction (R).
  • the radial direction (R) is perpendicular to the central axis 103.
  • the off-set between the first and second posterior bows 113, 113’ provides for an improved fixation of the annuloplasty device 100 on a downsized posterior annulus and thus a more effective anchoring of the annuloplasty device 100.
  • At least part of the first posterior bow 113 may thus extend with a greater radius (r) from the central axis 103 than the second posterior bow 113’.
  • the retention units 104, 104’ provides for shaping the annulus as desired even with a reduced pinching force, since the retention units 104, 104’, provides for fixating the shape of the annulus in the radial direction because of the mentioned retention force. This provides for a more reliable implantation at the heart valve, both in the short term and in the long term.
  • the method 200 may comprise positioning 2031 a first posterior stent 105a on the atrial side along a first posterior bow 113 of the first support ring 101 , and positioning 2032 a second posterior stent 105b on the ventricular side along a second posterior bow 113’ of the second support ring 102.
  • the method 200 may further comprise positioning an anterior stent (not shown) on the atrial side of the heart valve along a first anterior portion 114 of the first support ring 101.
