Abstract
The disclosure relates to heart valve prostheses with the reduced need of pacemaker implantation and/or improved means for positioning the replacement heart valve. A heart valve prosthesis is provided with a stent and at least one locator. The locator has an adapted design for positioning within a cusp of the native aortic valve for implantation at the native heart valve site. Placement of the locators within the cusps preferably prevents movement from the native heart valve site post-implantation, including proximal movement of the prosthesis into the left ventricle.
