The papillary anchor of the main stem is configured to attach to a papillary muscle of the heart. The main stem further includes a first branch extending from the main stem in a first direction and configured to attach to a first leaflet of the valve of the heart. The main stem also includes a second branch extending from the main stem in a second direction different from the first direction and configured to attach to a second leaflet of the valve.
