Claim 0:
1. A method for rotationally aligning a transcatheter heart valve prosthesis within a native heart valve, the method comprising:
percutaneously delivering the transcatheter heart valve prosthesis to the native heart valve, wherein the transcatheter heart valve prosthesis includes at least one imaging marker;
receiving a coronary overlap viewing angle image of the transcatheter heart valve prosthesis within the native heart valve;
determining, based on the coronary overlap viewing angle image and the at least one imaging marker, whether the transcatheter heart valve prosthesis is in a desired rotational orientation; and
if the at least one imaging marker in the coronary overlap viewing angle indicates that the transcatheter heart valve prosthesis is not in the desired rotational orientation, rotating the transcatheter heart valve prosthesis until the transcatheter heart valve prosthesis is in the desired rotational orientation.
