Abstract
A method is provided of reducing tricuspid valve regurgitation of a patient. A first tissue anchor is implanted at a first implantation site in cardiac tissue in the vicinity of the tricuspid valve of the patient. A second tissue anchor is implanted at a second implantation site of the patient, different from the first implantation site. After the first and the second tissue anchors have been implanted, a longitudinal member that couples the first and the second tissue anchors together is longitudinally deflected.
