Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include systems and devices for delivering an implant to a bodily annulus, such as an annuloplasty implant to a heart valve annulus. Various implants of the disclosure include one or more cinching lines extending through respective flexible tubular members, which are anchored to the annulus. The cinching lines can be tensioned to reshape the annulus. Systems further include least one lock to maintain the position of the cinching lines. Methods of reshaping the implant and locking a position of the reshaped implant are also disclosed.

Abstract: Prosthetic heart valves each includes a link extending along a link axis and an axial frame. The axial frame includes a plurality of struts comprising a plurality of inner struts pivotally attached to a plurality of outer struts at a plurality of pivot nodes. A first pivot node of the plurality of pivot can be attached to the link and a second pivot node of the plurality of pivot nodes can move relative to the link along the link axis. Methods of radially expanding a prosthetic heart valve can comprise radially expanding the radially expandable frame from a radially retracted orientation to a radially expanded orientation while the second pivot node axially translates relative to the link.
