    摘要: Apparatus is provided that can be delivered through a catheter to a remote location in a patient's body. The apparatus may include a first structure (110) that can be positioned in all dimensions in a controlled manner and stabilized in that desired position, a second structure (120) that can then position a lumen axis at a desired angle relative to the first structure, and a third member that can pass through the lumen and approach and engage with force (e.g., penetrate) a desired location on the anatomy without compromising maintaining the desired position. The apparatus effectively separates the forces needed for positioning and the forces needed for the tissue engagement (e.g., penetration).

    摘要: Soft body tissue structure can be remodeled by shortening the distance between first and second portions of that tissue structure. First and second anchor structures are respectively implanted in the first and second portions of the tissue structure. These anchor structures are linked by a linking structure (130), the length of which between the anchor structures can be shortened to pull the tissue structure portions toward one another. Each of the anchor structures (110,120) may include two screw structures (150a,150b,150c,150d) that are driven into the associated tissue structure portion transverse to the linking structure (130) and with a spacer (160a,160b) between the two screws. The entire prosthesis can be implanted percutaneously if desired. An illustrative use of the prosthesis is to shorten the annulus of a patient's mitral valve, with at least a portion of the prosthesis implanted in the patient's coronary sinus.
