Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for reducing mitral regurgitation includes a delivery catheter (106) extendable through a vascular system of a patient and into a coronary sinus (30) proximate a posterior leaflet (39) of a mitral valve (36). The catheter has at its distal end a flexible tubular extension for engaging an opening of the coronary sinus and entering the coronary sinus. A substantially rigid body is inserted via the catheter and is positioned in the coronary sinus proximate the posterior leaflet. An elongated rod is used to push the rigid body through the catheter and into the coronary sinus.
