Abstract:
A method is provided, including introducing into a heart atrium, an annuloplasty structure having a sleeve with an elongated tubular side wall and at least one distal end wall having a surface substantially transverse to a lateral surface of the tubular side wall. A first tissue anchor is deployed through the surface of the end wall of the sleeve and into a first portion of annulus tissue. A second tissue anchor is deployed through a portion of the tubular side wall and into a second portion of annulus tissue, such that the first tissue anchor and the second tissue anchor are both deployed consecutively, to extend in a substantially same direction and into a common, substantially planar surface of a valve annulus, the common, substantially planar surface including the first and second portions of the annulus tissue. Other applications are also described.
