The invention relates to a self-expandable medical instrument (100) for treating defects in a patient's heart, in particular for the transvascular implantation of a prosthetic heart valve (30), wherein the medical instrument (100) is introducible into the body of a patient in a minimally-invasive procedure using a catheter system (40) and comprises a stent (1) made of a flexible mesh (2) of thin wires or filaments (2'). In order to realize a position-ing of medical instrument (100) in the patient's heart which is as precise as possible and to securely anchor same there, it is provided for the stent (1) composed of the flexible mesh (2) to exhibit in the expanded state of the medical instrument (100) a distal reten-tion area (10) with a laterally-inverted beaded portion (12) which is engageable in at least one pocket (51) of the patient's defective heart valve (50), a proximal retention area (20), and a center area (15) positioned between the distal and the proximal retention area (10, 20).

L~invention concerne un instrument médical auto-extensible (100) pour le traitement de défaillances cardiaques chez un patient, en particulier pour l~implantation transvasculaire d~une prothèse (30) de valve cardiaque, l~instrument médical (100) pouvant être introduit avec une invasion minime dans le corps du patient à l~aide d~un système cathéter (40) et présentant un stent (1) constitué d~un tissage flexible (2) de minces cordons ou fils (2~). Pour veiller à ce que l~instrument médical (100) soit positionné avec le maximum de précision dans le cAEur du patient et y soit fixé en toute sécurité, le stent (1) constitué du tissage flexible (2) présente avec l~instrument médical (100) déployé une zone de rétention distale (10) avec une section de renflement latérale (12) bombée vers l~extérieur, qui peut s~engager avec au moins une poche (51) de la valve cardiaque défectueuse (50) du patient, une zone de rétention proximale (20) et une zone médiane (15) située entre les zones de rétention distale et proximale (10, 20).
