The present invention relates to a minimally invasive method of performing annuloplasty. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for performing annuloplasty includes creating a first plication in the tissue near a mitral valve of a heart, using at least a first plication element (905), and creating a second plication in the tissue near the mitral valve such that the second plication is substantially coupled to the first plication.

L'invention concerne un procédé à invasion minimale permettant d'effectuer une annuloplastie. Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, un procédé permettant d'effectuer une annuloplastie consiste à créer une première plicature dans le tissu à proximité de la valvule mitrale d'un coeur, à utiliser au moins un premier élément de plicature et à créer une seconde plicature dans le tissu à proximité de la valvule mitrale, de manière que la seconde plicature soit sensiblement couplée à la première plicature.
