An arterial cannula for ECMO includes a main arterial cannula with an inner wall and having a first end with a blood outflow port. The first end is intended to be introduced into an artery so as to inject the blood retrogradely into the artery. A retro-perfusion cannula is configured to be translatably movable between a retracted position in the first end of the main arterial cannula and a deployed position at least partly outside the main arterial cannula and opposite the blood outflow port of the main arterial cannula.

Implant () for a heart valve comprising two leaflets, particularly a mitral valve (MV), the implant () comprising: a clamp () comprising a body () and a jaw () rotationally hinged with the body () to pivot between an open position and a closed position in which the body () and the jaw () are able to clamp a first leaflet among the heart valve leaflets, so as to attach the implant () onto the first leaflet, a movement device () comprising a pusher element (), the movement device being configured to move the jaw () relative to the body () from the open position to the closed position or vice versa, when the pusher element () is pushed by a rod (), and a balloon () attached to the clamp () and configured to close at least partially an open portion (O) remaining between the heart valve (MV) leaflets during systole, when the implant () is attached to the first leaflet, so as to limit a reflux of blood through said open portion (O) remaining during systole.
