A device for treatment of mitral annulus dilatation comprises an elongate
body having two states. In a first of these states the elongate body is
insertable into the coronary sinus and has a shape adapting to the shape
of the coronary sinus. When positioned in the coronary sinus, the
elongate body is transferable to the second state assuming a reduced
radius of curvature, whereby the radius of curvature of the coronary
sinus and the radius of curvature as well as the circumference of the
mitral annulus is reduced.
