Abstract
This material comprises an annuloplasty member (12) able to be introduced using a catheter (2) through minimally invasive vascular access, then to be delivered by said catheter and fixed to the valve annulus (104). According to the invention, it includes at least one catheter (2) comprising: —at least one guide member (10, 11) able to be deployed from said catheter (2) such that it extends along one portion of the valve annulus (104) of the valve (101), in the immediate proximity of said valve annulus, and —an implant (12) having a helical shape engaged on said guide member (10, 11), connected, with separation possibility, to actuation means (13, 20; 22, 23) making it possible to cause this implant (12) to move forward while driving it in rotation around its axis; the implant (12) can thus be deployed from the catheter (2) while being simultaneously moved forward and driven in rotation along its axis, said rotation enabling the implant (12) to penetrate the tissue of the valve annulus (104) while being guided along said annulus by said guide member (10, 11).
