An anchoring for heart valve prostheses includes a stent framework, for attaching heart valve leaflets to an inner side, and compartmentalization clips, connected with the stent framework at a first end region and having a free second end region. The anchoring exhibits a primary form and reversibly transformable into a delivery form for the minimally invasive introduction into the body of the patient by elastic deformation and/or compression of certain regions or elements. The compartmentalization clips are arcuately shaped between the first and second end regions in the primary form and are elastically foldable such that the compartmentalization clips extend in a flat manner between the first and second end regions in the delivery form. The anchoring has a separation structure connected with the stent framework and the compartmentalization clips to separate the areas of the native leaflets to be treated from the bloodstream when the anchoring implanted.
