Abstract
Methods of minimally-invasively treating mitral valve regurgitation. The methods include advancing an intraluminal cardiac device in a collapsed configuration into a coronary sinus, retracting a catheter proximally within the coronary sinus to cause a first expandable anchor of the device to self-expand within the coronary sinus, retracting the catheter proximally within the coronary sinus to expose a connecting member of the device, pulling proximally on the cardiac device to reshape mitral valve tissue to reduce mitral valve regurgitation, retracting the catheter proximally within the coronary sinus to cause a second expandable anchor of the device to self-expand within the coronary sinus, and releasing the intraluminal cardiac device from a delivery device.
