Abstract
A device (e.g., an annulus-constricting device) with N anchors may be affixed to a cardiac valve annulus as follows. First, the device is delivered to the vicinity of the annulus via a catheter. Next, the position and layout of the device is adjusted via the catheter. Next, only those anchors which are properly positioned are driven into the annulus or tissue adjacent to the annulus. The remaining anchors remain unlaunched at this point. The unlaunched anchors are subsequently moved into a good position using either a manipulating tool or catheter-steering techniques, after which they are driven into the annulus or tissue adjacent to the annulus.
