Implant having multiple adjusting mechanisms

Apparatus for use with a native valve of a heart of a patient, the native valve having a valve annulus, and the heart having a ventricle, the apparatus comprising:

• an implant structure, comprising:
• a body portion, configured to be secured around the valve annulus;
• a first adjusting mechanism, coupled to a first portion of the body portion, and comprising a first ring that surrounds the first portion and is moveable with respect to the body portion;
• and
• a second adjusting mechanism, coupled to a second portion of the body portion, and comprising a second ring that surrounds the second portion, and is moveable with respect to the body portion;
• a first elongate tool, configured to remodel tissue of the heart by actuating the first adjusting mechanism;
• and
• a second elongate tool, configured to remodel tissue of the heart by actuating the second adjusting mechanism.

A method for use at a native valve of a heart of a patient, the native valve having a valve annulus, and the heart having a ventricle, the method comprising:

• securing, around the valve annulus, a body portion of an implant structure, the implant structure including:
• a first adjusting mechanism that includes a ring that (i) surrounds a first portion of the body portion, and (ii) is moveable with respect to the body portion, and
• a second adjusting mechanism that includes a ring that (i) surrounds a second portion of the body portion, and (ii) is moveable with respect to the body portion;
• and
• remodeling tissue of the heart by:
• using a first elongate tool to intracorporeally actuate the first adjusting mechanism, and
• using a second elongate tool to intracorporeally actuate the second adjusting mechanism.
