Abstract
A method for replacing a native heart valve with a prosthetic heart valve comprises moving a first portion of a prosthetic heart valve towards a second portion of the prosthetic heart valve along a plurality of guide wires, and lock the first portion to the second portion in a final, radially expanded configuration. The prosthetic heart valve is radially contractible and expandable, and in some embodiments, is self-expanding. Embodiments of the method are minimally invasive.
