Abstract

The invention is a device, and method for deploying same, configured for placement in a body lumen such as a coronary sinus, as may be desired to repair a mitral valve. The device includes a first anchor, a second anchor, and a bridge. The anchors are configured to delivered to a desired deployment site within the body lumen in a collapsed or contracted condition, and then be deployed by expanding the anchors into contact with the walls of the body lumen. One or more of the anchors may be configured to be radially collapsible after initial deployment in order to permit the anchor(s) Io be repositioned in or removed from the body lumen. An anchor may be collapsible in response to a distal force applied to a portion of a proximal end thereof. Λ catheter for use with the implant is configured to deliver the implant to the site with the anchors in their respective collapsed configurations, and to release the anchors to permit them to expand into contact with the walls of the body lumen. The catheter is configured to apply a proximal force to one or both anchors, which may be applied via a cinch wire. The catheter may also be configured to apply a distal force against a portion of the proximal end of one or more of the anchors.
