An annuloplasty ring and ring holder combination includes a generally triangular-shaped ring and a generally T-shaped holder. The ring holder has a base portion forming the top of the T shape and engaging against a first segment of the ring, with a radial arm extending from the base portion and forming the post of the T. The radial arm engages against a junction between two segments of the ring. The invention includes placements of suture holes and cutting wells which, in combination with the improved ring holder shape, afford the user improved access and visibility to the surgical site, the ring, and to the suture that is used to retain the annuloplasty ring to the holder.
