Abstract:
A method of delivering a percutaneous heart valve is disclosed. The percutaneous heart valve includes an expandable frame having a plurality of cells and a valve seated inside the expandable frame. The heart valve also includes a proximal anchoring portion and a distal anchoring portion having a plurality of distal anchors. After expansion, the proximal anchoring portion extends distally and a portion of each distal anchor extends proximally. A portion of each distal anchor is positioned radially outwardly from the frame and extends in a direction that is substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis. Proximal portions of the distal anchors are preferably spaced apart by less than two cell lengths from a distal portion of the proximal anchoring portion. During deployment, radial expansion of the frame draws the proximal anchoring portion and the distal anchors into closer proximity with body tissue positioned therebetween.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein, when the frame is in the expanded configuration within the opening:\n the proximal anchoring portion is positioned on a first side of the surrounding body tissue and the plurality of distal anchors are positioned on a second side of the surrounding body tissue opposite the first side; and the proximalmost portions of the plurality of distal anchors distal anchors engage the second side of the surrounding body tissue at a location radially outward of the opening.
