Abstract
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.
