Abstract
A method for repairing a native valve of a patient during a non-open-heart procedure includes attaching two or more attachment members to the native valve. The method also includes applying a force to the two or more attachment members such that the two or more attachment members cause a cinching effect on at least a portion of the native valve. The method further includes securing the two or more attachment members with one or more anchor members such that the two or more attachment members maintain the cinching effect.
