Claim 5:
6. A transcatheter delivery system, comprising:
a supporting and guiding lead configured to be inserted through a venous system leading to a heart and attached to the heart, with the supporting and guiding lead having a distal end;
a myocardial attachment system at the distal end of the supporting and guiding lead, the myocardial attachment system configured to be introduced intravenously with the supporting and guiding lead up to a right ventricle of the heart and implanted from a right side of the heart into a ventricular septum using an anchor; and
a transcatheter prosthesis element configured to be delivered crimped using guidance along the supporting and guiding lead, the transcatheter prosthesis element having a guiding system positioned on the outer rim of the transcatheter prosthesis element, the guiding system configured to allow steering of the prosthesis;
wherein the transcatheter prosthesis comprises a prosthesis mesh crimpable to contain a crimped valve element deliverable along the supporting and guiding lead by the guiding system placed on the outer rim of the prosthesis; and
wherein the guiding system of the prosthesis comprises:
a central immobile element attached to the prosthesis mesh; 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.
