Zusammenfassung:	A clip for fixation of a medical implant to tissue is disclosed, having a delivery shape and a relaxed shape, comprising a proximal cylindrical portion to be arranged in a tubular lumen of a catheter, and first and second resilient legs having respective proximal ends attached to the cylindrical portion, the proximal ends being separated by a width of a bridging section of the cylindrical portion, the proximal ends being connected in an inward direction, extending from each of the proximal ends to the central longitudinal axis of the cylindrical portion, the bridging section together with the first and second legs forming an opening to receive an annuloplasty implant, each of the first and second legs having a distal portion to pierce said tissue, and wherein in said relaxed shape each of the distal portions are curved to deflect from the central longitudinal axis. A related method is disclosed.
