Abstract
Apparatus includes an annuloplasty structure, including: (i) a tubular body portion that is configured to be disposed at an annulus of a valve of a heart, and is shaped to define a perimeter; (ii) a flexible member, disposed within the tubular body portion; (iii) a first adjustment mechanism, attached to the tubular body portion and to the flexible member such that reversible actuation of the first adjustment mechanism reversibly adjusts a first dimension of the body portion by adjusting tension of the flexible member; (iv) a second adjustment mechanism, coupled to the tubular body portion, and reversibly actuatable to reversibly adjust a second dimension of the body portion. The apparatus further includes one or more elongate tools, reversibly couplable to the first and second adjustment mechanisms, and configured to independently actuate the first and second adjustment mechanisms by applying force thereto while the heart is beating.
