Claim 14:
15. A transcatheter prosthesis, comprising:
a prosthesis mesh crimpable to contain a crimped valve element deliverable along a supporting and guiding lead; and
an anchoring element configured to fix the transcatheter prosthesis in place on the supporting and guiding lead and to allow steering of the prosthesis, the anchoring element including a rotating anchor system configured to allow steering of the valve element with respect to the lead;
wherein the transcatheter prosthesis is configurable to be delivered intravenously to a heart along the supporting and guiding lead by the anchoring element;
wherein the anchoring element further comprises:
a central immobile element attached to the prosthesis mesh;
a secondary element which is mobile and steerable; and
a pair of articulated semi-cylindrical wings movably coupled to the central immobile element, the pair of wings movable between a delivery position in which the wings do not engage the supporting and guiding lead, and an anchoring position in which the wings are closed in embrace over the supporting and guiding lead to anchor the transcatheter prosthesis to the supporting and guiding lead.
