Systems and methods are provided for an annuloplasty device and delivery system for treating valvular regurgitation. The annuloplasty device (e.g., a transcatheter annuloplasty ring) may include a tube having anterior and posterior anchors that may transition from a constrained state within the tube to a deployed state in which anchors extend through windows of the tube into tissue at the native valve site. Each anchor may include valvular and atrial anchors as well as anchors having different shapes (e.g., a curved anchor and a non-curved anchor). The annuloplasty device may be delivered to the native valve site via a catheter and the annuloplasty device may be manipulated within the patient's heart using a delivery handle to selectively deploy anchors while closing the anterior-to-posterior distance of the valve to treat valvular regurgitation.
