Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for reducing tricuspid valve regurgitation of a patient. The method includes implanting a first tissue anchor at a first implantation site in cardiac tissue in the vicinity of the tricuspid valve of the patient, and implanting a second tissue anchor at a second implantation site in cardiac tissue of the patient opposite the first implantation site across the tricuspid valve. Using a spool that winds therewithin at least a portion of a longitudinal member that couples the first and the second tissue anchors together, tension is applied between the first and the second tissue anchors to alter the geometry of the tricuspid valve by rotating the spool.
