Abstract
A method is provided, which includes providing an annuloplasty ring, which comprises (a) a flexible sleeve, and (b) a contracting assembly. During a percutaneous transcatheter procedure, the flexible sleeve is placed entirely around an annulus of a mitral valve of a subject in a closed loop. The sleeve is fastened to the annulus by coupling a plurality of tissue anchors to a posterior portion of the annulus, without coupling any tissue anchors to an anterior portion of the annulus between left and right fibrous trigones of the annulus. Thereafter, a longitudinal portion of the sleeve is contracted. Other embodiments are also described.
