A first ventricular surface anchor can be placed against a first right ventricular surface, wherein the first ventricular surface anchor is connected to a first tension member. A first tension anchor against a tension anchor surface of a heart, wherein the first tension anchor is connected to a second tension member. The first tension member connected to the first ventricular surface anchor can extend towards the second tension member connected to the first tension anchor; and the first tension member and the second tension member, can be draw the first right ventricular surface toward the first tension anchor. The surface anchor can include a nitinol frame forming an outer perimeter and a hole. The nitinol frame can have an austenite state in a deployed configuration when a temperature of the nitinol frame is body temperature. The surface anchor can also include a grommet comprising a distal tubular portion connected to a proximal finger portion.
