This technology includes structures and methods for cinching a band around the heart for treating conditions including tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR). When positioned appropriately along the atrioventricular groove, the band is tightened around the heart which narrows the tricuspid annulus and relieves TR.

Commercial Applications
To be used for the treatment of tricuspid valve regurgitation.

Competitive Advantages
Method minimizes any risk of coronary compression (unintended compression of vessels to limit or prevent flow).
