Abstract
A medical device (1) suitable for use in treatment of a mitral valve comprises a treatment element (2) located at the region of co-aptation of the leaflets (3) of the mitral valve, a support element (4) which supports the treatment element (2) at the region of co-aptation of the valve leaflets (3), and an anchor element (8) to anchor the support element (4) to the ventricle wall at the apex (9) of the ventricle (5). The anchor element (8) is located at the distal end of the support element (4), and the proximal end (120) of the support element (4) is unconstrained relative to the wall of the ventricle (5) and the wall of the atrium (6). The treatment element (2) acts to resist blood flow in the retrograde direction through the valve opening.
