Abstract: Among other things, there are disclosed embodiments of belts or bands that can be used in treatments for tricuspid valve regurgitation. In some embodiments, such belts may be heat-set in a particular configuration to effectively decrease tricuspid annulus when deployed around the atrioventricular groove. Embodiments include one or more tensioning sutures for applying cinching or tightening to belts when deployed, and structure for effectively distributing force during such tightening.

Abstract: Among other things, there are disclosed embodiments of devices used for minimally-invasive treatments, such as treatment of mitral valves. In a system for placing an annuloplasty belt around the heart, embodiments for tensioning a suture associated with the belt are provided, as are embodiments of a suture lock for holding the suture with the applied tension. A delivery device that permits placement and tensioning of such a belt and activation of the suture lock in one procedure is also disclosed. Methods for making and using these features are also disclosed.
