8 Claims

1. A method of repairing a native heart valve comprising the steps of:

percutaneously delivering a catheter including an elongated tube and an annuloplasty ring adjacent to tissue of an annulus of the native heart valve;

deploying the annuloplasty ring at the annulus of the native heart valve by radially expanding the annuloplasty ring;

securing the annuloplasty ring to the annulus of the native heart valve by extending a plurality of clip deployment tubes radially out of respective openings in a sidewall of the elongated tube and extending clips through the clip deployment tubes, the annuloplasty ring, and into the annulus;

after securing the annuloplasty ring to the annulus, radially contracting the annuloplasty ring to cause remodeling of the shape of the annulus of the native heart valve; and

deploying a transcatheter valve within the annuloplasty ring, the transcatheter valve including a stent and a valve disposed within a central opening of the stent.
