The present invention relates to an anchoring device () designed for anchoring a prosthetic heart valve inside a heart, comprising an extraventricular part () designed to be positioned inside an atrium or an artery and a ventricular part () designed to be positioned inside a ventricle, wherein the ventricular part comprises a double wall composed of an outer wall () and an inner wall () spaced apart at the level where the prosthetic heart valve is intended to be inserted, and wherein the anchoring device further comprises a predefined V-shaped groove () formed between the extraventricular part () and the ventricular part (). The present invention also relates to an anchoring system () for anchoring a prosthetic heart valve inside a heart, comprising said anchoring device (), a prosthetic heart valve support () and a prosthetic heart valve () connected to the prosthetic heart valve support ().

Heart valve anchoring device

The present invention relates to a delivery apparatus for delivering a radially self-expanding medical device () having a proximal portion and a distal portion, said delivery apparatus comprising an elongated tubular member having a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen () extending along a longitudinal axis from the proximal end to the distal end; a sheath (), said sheath () being coaxially disposed around the elongated tubular member (); wherein the elongated tubular member () is movable relative to the sheath (); and wherein the sheath () is configured for receiving the radially self-expanding medical device () in a radially compressed state; and a holding and retrieving mechanism configured to constrain radially the proximal portion of the radially self-expanding medical device () such that in response to a proximal movement of the elongated tubular member () relative to the sheath (), the holding and retrieving mechanism () constrains radially the proximal portion of the radially self-expanding medical device () and the radially self-expanding medical device () is collapsed within the sheath ().
