The present disclosure includes a method comprising inserting an implant proximate a mitral valve, the implant comprising a tubular body and a plurality of piercing members, the tubular body comprising an upper diameter and a lower diameter. The method also includes engaging tissue proximate the mitral valve by the plurality of piercing members and transitioning the tubular body from a first structural configuration to a second structural configuration by application of an expansive force to the tubular body proximate the upper diameter, the first structural configuration having the upper diameter smaller than the lower diameter and the second structural configuration having the upper diameter larger than the lower diameter. The present disclosure also includes associated systems and implants.
