Claim Text:
1. A method of treatment of a prolapsed mitral valve comprising: embedding a second anchor into a tissue in a left ventricle; deploying a first anchor in a left atrium, the first anchor having a connection point at the first end of the first anchor a first arm and a second arm situated adjacent to the first arm and extending in a same direction as the first arm, the first arm and the second arm both extending in the longitudinal direction of the first anchor from the connection point between the first end and the second end of the first anchor, the first arm and the second arm being biased toward each other; pinching a common wall between the coronary sinus and the left atrium between the first arm and the second arm thereby securing the first anchor to the common wall; extending a restraining matrix from the first anchor over the mitral valve and into the left ventricle to connect the restraining matrix to the second anchor such that the restraining matrix is draped over the mitral valve; and adjusting the restraining matrix to correct a prolapsing segment of the mitral valve.
