A driver tool (210) which drives helical fasteners (214) through a heart valve component (212) into tissue (213). The tool (210) has a tool housing (216) with a distal end (218) couplable to engage the implanted component (218). A drive shaft (222) at the proximal end of the driver tool (210) couples to a driving force. Multiple driver tips (266) couple to helical fasteners (214) for the heart valve component (212). |
