Disclosed is a bottom module that contains a heart valve replacement, and a top module connected to the bottom module. The top module may be bio-absorbable, or may contain one or more severable joints that allow the top module to be removed after implantation. The removable or absorbable top portion serves to add additional length the structure to add in orientation during implantation, but is removed or absorbed to minimize the metal and other foreign material in a patient's body that could cause thrombosis or other reactions.
