Abstract
A ring for surrounding the chordae tendinae of a heart valve, and a system for delivering the ring. The ring gathers the chordae tendinae into a bundle to effectively shorten the chordae tendinae to resolve or reduce valve leaflet prolapse. The body of the ring has an elongated generally linear delivery configuration and a plurality of annular treatment configurations. The body of the ring is releasably carried within a delivery catheter to a treatment location, and a push rod expels the ring from the delivery catheter. Upon being expelled from the delivery catheter, a second end of the ring body will co-axially align with and insert into a first end of the body to form the ring.
