Abstract
A linking member extends from a first linking site of a longitudinal member to a second linking site of the longitudinal member. An anchor driver is configured to anchor portions of the longitudinal member to tissue using tissue anchors. A distal portion is anchorable to a first tissue location while the first linking site is within a catheter. While the distal portion is anchored to the first location, and the second linking site is within the catheter, a second portion is advanceable distally out of the catheter and is anchorable to a second tissue location. While the second portion is anchored to the second location, the second linking site and a third portion are advanceable distally out of the catheter. After the second linking site has been advanced out of the catheter, the third portion is anchorable to a third tissue location. Other embodiments are also described.
