The present teachings provide devices and methods of treating a tricuspid valve regurgitation. Specifically, one aspect of the present teachings provides devices each includes a vascular anchor, an annulus anchor, and at least one tensioning member connecting with the vascular anchor or the annulus anchor. Another aspect of the present teachings provides methods of deploying a vascular anchor at a first treatment location inside the coronary sinus, and deploying an annulus anchor at a second treatment location across the tricuspid annulus. When both the anchors are pulled towards each other, the portion of the annulus between the two anchors is plicated, which improves the coaptation of the tricuspid valve leaflets.
