Adjustable endolumenal implant for reshaping the mitral valve annulus

A system for reshaping a mitral valve annulus surrounding a mitral valve, said system comprising:

• a delivery catheter;
• an implant body configured to be carried within said delivery catheter in a compressed state, and to expand to an expanded configuration upon exiting said delivery catheter, said implant body including adjustment mechanisms mounted at a location on said implant body to be movable with respect to the implant body configured to adjust the size or shape of a portion of said implant body and which remain mounted on said implant body after delivery;
• and
• a plurality of connection arms coupled to said implant body at locations spaced circumferentially apart from said adjustment mechanisms and movable to tilt said implant body.

A system for reshaping a mitral valve annulus surrounding a mitral valve, said system comprising:

• an implant body positioned at a distal end of said system and having a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart receiver holes positioned radially within the implant body;
• a plurality of connection arms configured to mate with the receiver holes to be coupled to said implant body and to cause tilting of said implant body when pulled or pushed and to cause expansion or contraction of said implant body when moved radially with respect to said implant body;
• and
• a tilt adjuster positioned at a proximal end of said system and coupled to said connection arms and said implant body, and actuatable to tilt said implant body by pulling or pushing various of said connection arms, wherein radial movement of said connection arms with respect to said implant body causes expansion or contraction of said implant body.
