Abstract
A cord that has been previously affixed around an annulus can be fastened with a fastener that is movable from a first state in which the cord is free to slide to a second state in which the cord is locked in place. After the fastener is moved to the second state, a cutting element with a slit shaped distal portion oriented in the distal-to-proximal direction with sharp edges slides with respect to a shelf and cuts off portions of the cord that are proximal with respect to the two locked parts.
