a superior edge, lateral edges, and an inferior edge, wherein a distance between the lateral edges generally decreases toward the inferior edge;
a hub; and
at least one strut extending from the hub; and
a helical anchor configured to be rotated relative to the hub,
wherein the coaptation implant is configured to experience some motion and deformation as surrounding cardiac structures move in relation to one another during the cardiac cycle.
