摘要：
A mitral valve prosthesis can be delivered within the native mitral annulus. The valve prosthesis has a valve component on which prosthetic valve leaflets are attached, and a lower support which anatomically and dynamically conforms to a native mitral valve annulus and which is flexibly attached to the valve component. The valve prosthesis can be delivered to the native mitral valve annulus in a collapsed configuration in which the valve component and anchoring element are serially rather than concentrically positioned to one another, thereby minimizing the diameter of the valve prosthesis during delivery. The devices and methods described are useful for treatment of various mitral valve disorders which result in, for example, mitral regurgitation.
