Abstract
An anchoring system including an anchoring assembly having two or more anchor elements, and anchor drive mechanism having a respective actuator portion couplable with each anchor element and operable to separately and independently actuate each anchor element. In some embodiments, the actuator portions are on different portions of a common actuator component. The actuator portions actuate the anchor elements by different actuation movements. Is some embodiments, the actuator portions use different types of actuation movements, such as rotational motion to actuate one anchor element, and axial motion to actuate another anchor element. The actuator portions may be formed on different portions of a common actuator component, or as different structures coupled together.
