1. A system comprising:
a plurality of tissue anchors;
a template catheter comprising a first configuration in which the template catheter has a low profile and a second configuration in which the template catheter is expanded to be positioned relative to a valve annulus, the template catheter comprising a plurality of pathways;
an anchor catheter configured to move along a pathway of the plurality of pathways of the template catheter to deliver a tissue anchor of the plurality of tissue anchors to the valve annulus; and
a transvalvular band configured to move along a suture toward the tissue anchor, wherein the transvalvular band comprises an eyelet configured to receive the suture.
