1. A mitral annuloplasty prosthesis comprising:
- a fabric sheath;
first and second frame members mounted within the sheath and spaced from one another, the frame members configured such that after implant, the first frame member extends from the antero-lateral trigone to a first point adjacent the posterior leaflet and the second frame member extends from the postero-medial trigone to a second point adjacent the posterior leaflet, the first and second points spaced from one another.

9. A mitral annuloplasty prosthesis comprising:
-
a fabric sheath; a first frame member mounted within the sheath, the first frame member having a first end and a second end, the prosthesis being configured such that after implant, the first frame member extends from the antero-lateral trigone to a first point adjacent the posterior leaflet, the first frame member having a first central loop centrally located along the first frame member and a first end loop located at the first end of the first frame member; and
,a first drawstring, the first drawstring passing through the first central loop and the first end loop and being anchored along the first frame member. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

- 40. An annuloplasty prosthesis, comprising a frame member configured to extend from a trigone toward a posterior leaflet to a point proximally adjacent the posterior leaflet, a fabric covering at least a portion of the frame member, and a drawstring affixed to and cooperatively arranged with the frame member such that tension may be applied by the drawstring between two points on the frame member to deflect the frame member.
