Abstract
A method of implanting a stented device in a cardiovascular system of a mammalian subject includes guiding a delivery device that has an anchoring device connected to a distal end thereof within the cardiovascular system to a target location. The anchoring device has a body and a mooring feature extending from the body. The anchoring device is anchored at the target location by penetrating tissue at the target location with the mooring feature. The mooring feature is configured to anchor the body to the tissue when penetrated therein. The stented device is then guided through the cardiovascular system to the target location and deployed such that a stent of the stented device engages the anchoring device so as to restrict movement of the stented device within the cardiovascular system.
