Annular augmentation device for cardiac valve repair

A repair device configured for repairing a regurgitant mitral valve, the repair device comprising:

• a crescent-shaped body having a perimeter that defines an upper side and a lower side, the perimeter having a posterior section defined by a convex side of the crescent-shaped body and an anterior section defined by a concave side of the crescent-shaped body, the body being shaped so as to define an annular groove disposed along at least a portion of the posterior section, the annular groove being configured to receive tissue of a posterior rim of a targeted mitral valve when the repair device is deployed at the targeted mitral valve;
• a first anchor extending from the anterior section, the first anchor comprising an atraumatic end;
• and
• a second anchor extending from the anterior section, the second anchor comprising an atraumatic end,
• wherein the first and second anchors are configured to engage with commissure tissue of the mitral valve to prevent movement of the repair device from the targeted mitral valve when the repair device is deployed at the targeted mitral valve, each of the first anchor and second anchor including a flexible upper section and a flexible lower section configured to grip tissue therebetween, and
• wherein the repair device is radially outwardly biased along the posterior section and is not radially outwardly biased along the anterior section.
