A self-expanding wire framework device comprising: a deployment tube and a self-expanding wire framework positioned inside the deployment tube and covered with a polymer film adapted to flare outwardly to encircle a portion of a heart, wherein the self-expanding wire framework comprises: a set of adjacent articulated wire loops extending from a lead edge to a hub, characterized in that each of the articulated wire loops of the set of articulated wire loops comprise: a top segment positioned at the lead edge and that extends to a left midway bend and to a right midway bend , a left strut that extends from the left midway bend to the hub, a right strut that extends from the right midway bend to the hub, and a fixed strut attachment point on the hub to fix the position of the left strut and the right strut , wherein each of the articulated wire loops of the set of articulated wire loops is positioned to at least partially overlap an adjacent articulated wire loop, and wherein the left midway bend and right midway bend result in a tension that causes the set of articulated wire loops to engage in a circumferential flaring motion and bend outwardly as the self-expanding framework is deployed from the deployment tube to outwardly flair the self-expanding wire framework and the polymer film . a deployment tube and a self-expanding wire framework positioned inside the deployment tube and covered with a polymer film adapted to flare outwardly to encircle a portion of a heart, wherein the self-expanding wire framework comprises: a set of adjacent articulated wire loops extending from a lead edge to a hub, characterized in that each of the articulated wire loops of the set of articulated wire loops comprise: a top segment positioned at the lead edge and that extends to a left midway bend and to a right midway bend , a left strut that extends from the left midway bend to the hub, a right strut that extends from the right midway bend to the hub, and a fixed strut attachment point on the hub to fix the position of the left strut and the right strut , wherein each of the articulated wire loops of the set of articulated wire loops is positioned to at least partially overlap an adjacent articulated wire loop, and wherein the left midway bend and right midway bend result in a tension that causes the set of articulated wire loops to engage in a circumferential flaring motion and bend outwardly as the self-expanding framework is deployed from the deployment tube to outwardly flair the self-expanding wire framework and the polymer film . a top segment positioned at the lead edge and that extends to a left midway bend and to a right midway bend , a left strut that extends from the left midway bend to the hub, a right strut that extends from the right midway bend to the hub, and a fixed strut attachment point on the hub to fix the position of the left strut and the right strut , wherein each of the articulated wire loops of the set of articulated wire loops is positioned to at least partially overlap an adjacent articulated wire loop, and wherein the left midway bend and right midway bend result in a tension that causes the set of articulated wire loops to engage in a circumferential flaring motion and bend outwardly as the self-expanding framework is deployed from the deployment tube to outwardly flair the self-expanding wire framework and the polymer film . <EOS>
