Claim 9:
10. A system for repairing a native mitral valve of a heart, comprising:
a coiled anchor, and a prosthetic valve;
wherein the coiled anchor comprises:
a plurality of ventricular turns;
one or more atrial turns connected to the plurality of ventricular turns;
wherein the prosthetic valve comprises:
an expandable frame configured to be expanded in an inner space defined by the plurality of ventricular turns of the coiled anchor;
a plurality of leaflets disposed within the expandable frame for controlling bloodflow through the prosthetic valve;
wherein the coiled anchor is configured to be implanted at the native mitral valve with the plurality of ventricular turns positioned in a left ventricle of the heart and around valve leaflets of the native mitral valve; and
wherein the plurality of ventricular turns are configured such that when a radially outward pressure is applied to at least one of the plurality of ventricular turns, the coiled anchor is biased such that a first diameter of a first of the plurality of ventricular turns is expanded and a second diameter of a second of the plurality of ventricular turns is reduced such that the first diameter and the second diameter are the same.
