Implant ( 10 ) for a heart valve comprising two leaflets, particularly a mitral valve (MV), the implant ( 10 ) comprising: a clamp ( 11 ) comprising a body ( 13 ) and a jaw ( 14 ) rotationally hinged with the body ( 13 ) to pivot between an open position and a closed position in which the body ( 13 ) and the jaw ( 14 ) are able to clamp a first leaflet among the heart valve leaflets, so as to attach the implant ( 10 ) onto the first leaflet,n a movement device ( 41, 42 ) comprising a pusher element ( 41 ), the movement device being configured to move the jaw ( 14 ) relative to the body ( 13 ) from the open position to the closed position or vice versa, when the pusher element ( 41 ) is pushed by a rod ( 101 ), and a balloon ( 12 ) attached to the clamp ( 11 ) and configured to close at least partially an open portion (O 1 ) remaining between the heart valve (MV) leaflets during systole, when the implant ( 10 ) is attached to the first leaflet, so as to limit a reflux of blood through said open portion (O 1 ) remaining during systole. |
