Disclosed are methods and devices for applying pressure to an adjacent
tissue structure, such as the annulus of the mitral valve. An adjustable
implant is provided with an elongate control line having a distal end
connected to the implant and a proximal end spaced apart from the
implant. The device enables post implantation adjustment, by accessing
the proximal end of the control line and manipulating the control line to
adjust the implant.
