Abstract
Systems and methods for docking a heart valve prosthesis. A system can include an anchor formed as multiple coils adapted to support a heart valve prosthesis with coil portions positioned above and below the heart valve annulus. At least one of the coil portions can normally be at a first diameter and be expandable to a second, larger diameter upon application of radial outward force from within the helical anchor. Methods can include delivering an anchor, positioning and implanting a heart valve prosthesis, and expanding the heart valve prosthesis inside the anchor.
