Abstract
A heart valve prosthesis can have a valve anchor with at least one U-shaped member extending about a longitudinal axis of the valve anchor. The U-shaped member can have a peak portion and a base portion. The peak portion can have an engagement structure that allows a surgeon to engage the valve anchor with a delivery device and manipulate a position of the valve anchor in situ in order to achieve optimal placement of the prosthesis at a target site within a patient.
