Abstract
A method of implanting a prosthetic heart valve assembly includes advancing a delivery catheter through a vein and toward a native heart valve. The prosthetic heart valve assembly is deployed from a lumen of the delivery catheter, allowing the prosthetic heart valve assembly to self-expand from a compressed state to a functional size within an annulus of the native heart valve with a flared upper portion of the stent located in an atrium against a supra-annular surface of the annulus of the native heart valve. An elongate anchoring member is attached to a septum of a ventricle at a location below the annulus. The flared upper portion contacts a supra-annular surface of the native heart valve for preventing downward migration of the prosthetic heart valve assembly toward the ventricle and the elongate anchoring member prevents upward migration of the prosthetic heart valve assembly toward the atrium.
