A catheter based medical system and medical procedure for reducing cardiac valve regurgitation are disclosed. The system comprises a resilient curvilinear shaped annuloplasty implant for reducing the size of a dilated annulus of said valve for reducing said regurgitation having resilient anchoring elements, and a delivery device for said annuloplasty implant having a distal curvilinear shaped portion that is hollow to mount said annuloplasty implant and has an annular opening arranged to be in apposition against an annulus of said cardiac valve. A plurality of suction units allows for a atrial approach and symmetric implantation of said implant.
