Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed herein are various soft tissue anchor systems for heart repair; catheter devices for implanting a soft tissue anchor system in heart tissue; methods of implanting soft tissue anchor systems in soft body tissue; and methods of manufacturing soft tissue anchor systems. A soft tissue anchor system (200) for implantation in soft body tissue (12) to hold an artificial line (214) comprises: a U-shaped fabric body (201) comprising a base portion (202) and at least two arm portions (204) extending from the base portion (202); wherein each arm portion (204) is configured to collapse in folds towards the base portion (202) such that, in use, the body tissue (12) is sandwiched between the base portion (202) and each of the arm portions (204).
