Abstract:
A medical device for treating a heart valve insufficiency, with an endoprosthesis which can be introduced into a patient's body and expanded to secure a heart valve prosthesis in the patient's aorta. In an embodiment, the endoprosthesis has a plurality of positioning arches configured to be positioned with respect to a patient's aorta and a plurality of retaining arches to support a heart valve prosthesis. The endoprosthesis includes a first collapsed mode during the process of introducing it into the patient's body and a second expanded mode when it is implanted.

Claim (Index 39):
A method of treating a native heart valve, the method comprising:\n positioning an endoprosthesis relative to the native heart valve, the endoprosthesis comprising three first arches and a plurality of second arches, wherein positioning the endoprosthesis includes:\n placing an apex of each first arch within a corresponding pocket of the native heart valve, such that the plurality of first arches is radially outward of three native valve leaflets of the native heart valve, each first arch having an open end opposite the apex and joined to an open end of an adjacent first arch; and \n placing the plurality of second arches radially inward of the three native valve leaflets, the three first arches being coupled to the plurality of second arches by three connecting webs; \n wherein the endoprosthesis includes a prosthetic valve attached to the plurality of second arches such that at least part of the prosthetic valve extends from the plurality of second arches transversely across an interior of the endoprosthesis.
