Transcatheter delivery system for a self-expandable heart valve prosthesis () comprising a handle (), a hollow shaft () a distal tip () and an actuation mechanism for moving a valve prosthesis () towards said distal tip () or said handle (), said hollow shaft () being adapted to slidingly receive a compressed valve prosthesis (); the system being characterized by the fact that it includes a valve prosthesis crimping tool that comprises a hollow conical element (), a detachable transfer tube () and a pulling device (); said conical element () being adapted to let a valve prosthesis () in an expanded state enter the conical element () through its basis and enter said transfer tube () in a compressed state, said valve prosthesis () being pulled by said pulling device () when crossing said conical element () and entering said transfer tube (), said transferring tube () being adapted to be temporarily connected to said conical element ().

Atrio-ventricular valve stent () having a tubular shape, with a sub annular anterior side (), a sub annular posterior side () and sub annular lateral sides (), the sub annular anterior side () comprising a self-folding native leaflet engagement member (-) that forms a straight extension of said sub annular anterior side () when the stent () is collapsed and that is folded on itself when the stent () is in an expanded state; said engagement member (-) forming an integral part of the stent () and wherein each sub annular lateral side () is longer than said sub annular anterior side () when the stent () is in an expanded state.
