Abstract
Provided is a mitral annuloplasty band having a size that allows it to be inserted into the ventricle and a rectangular parallelepiped shape extending in a longitudinal direction thereof, wherein the ratio of the width and height is in a range of 1:2 to 1:8. Therefore, a portion of the mitral annulus adjacent to the posterior leaflet can be lifted up to a mitral annuloplasty band located at the wall of the left atrium and fixed thereto to recover the function of the mitral valve, without disturbing movement of the mitral valve and movement of the mitral annulus and the left ventricle adjacent thereto.
