1. An implantable annuloplasty system comprising:
a first member;
at least one first member anchor configured to anchor the first member to an anterior side of a mitral valve annulus in a left atrium of a heart;
a second member that is separate from the first member and is configured to not directly contact the first member;
at least one second member anchor configured to anchor the second member to a posterior side of the mitral valve annulus in the left atrium;
a third member that is separate from the first member and the second member and is configured to not directly contact the first member or the second member;
at least one third member anchor configured to anchor the third member to the anterior side of the mitral valve annulus in the left atrium;
a first flexible tensile member configured to span directly between the first member and the second member in a first straight line such that tension may be applied to the first tensile member to draw the first member and the second member toward one another and bring the posterior side and the anterior side of the mitral valve annulus into closer approximation; and
a second flexible tensile member configured to span directly between the second member and the third member in a second straight line such that tension may be applied to the second tensile member independently from the tension applied to the first tensile member to draw the second member and the third member toward one another and bring the posterior side and the anterior side of the mitral valve annulus into closer approximation,
wherein all elements of the implantable annuloplasty system are configured to be deployed into the left atrium through a catheter.
