Abstract
An annuloplasty ring system for repairing an atrioventricular cardiac valve includes an external support ring (), an inner adjustable ring (), a sliding pushing element () mounted between the external and inner rings (), and actuating element designed to control the pushing element (). The pushing element () is designed, when actuated by the actuating element, to slide between the external ring () and the inner ring () and to press on the inner ring () by using the external ring () as a support, in such a way that a precise part of the inner ring () is deformed without modifying the perimeter of the inner ring ().
