A catheter device (2) is provided for implanting an anchor (9) into body tissue to attach a line (14) to the body tissue. The catheter device (2) comprises: a housing section (4), (8) extending from a distal end of the catheter device (2) along the length of the catheter device (2) toward the proximal end of the catheter device, the housing section (4), (8) comprising a distal part (8) at the distal end of the catheter device (2) and a proximal part 4 located on the proximal side of the distal part (8). An anchor deployment mechanism (106), (110) is provided at the distal part (8) of the housing section (4), (8) for deployment of the anchor (9) for attachment of the anchor (9) to the body tissue. The anchor (9) is held in its stowed position by the anchor deployment mechanism (106, 110) in the distal part (8) prior to deployment, and the anchor (9) comprises a number of hooks (62) for engagement with the body tissue and having a folded position and an unfolded position, wherein the anchor (9) is made of an elastic material such that the hooks (62) can be elastically deformed into the folded position by application of a constraining force, and will return to the unfolded position when no constraining force is applied, and wherein the hooks (62) are held in the folded position whilst the anchor (9) is in the stowed position within the distal part (8). The distal part (8) of the housing (4), (8) has a non-circular shape (118), (117) for engagement with a corresponding non-circular form (28), (108) of the anchor (9) and/or the anchor deployment mechanism (106), (110), such that when the anchor (9) is held in the distal part (8) movement of the anchor (9) is restrained with respect to rotation of the anchor (9) about a longitudinal axis of the distal part (8) due to engagement between the non-circular shape (118), (117) and the non-circular form (28), (108).L'invention concerne un dispositif cathéter (2) conçu pour implanter un ancrage (9) dans un tissu corporel pour fix
