Abstract
A tissue anchor includes a central body extending between a first lengthwise end and a second lengthwise end. A first arm extends outwardly from the central body, and a second arm extends outwardly from the central body and spaced from the first arm. The tissue anchor is movable between a collapsed state and a deployed state. In the collapsed state, the central body extends linearly from the first lengthwise end to the second lengthwise end of the central body along an axis and the first and second arms extend parallel to the axis. In the deployed state, the central body extends non-linearly and the first and second arms extend radially outwardly from the central body.
