A heart valve stent that includes an annular framework, preferably of bendable material, having three rounded apexes interconnected by support arms curved to incline away from the apexes. Additional support arms are included parallel to and axially beyond the first support arms. For use in the mitral position, the framework is circumscribed by an outer ring, which receives an annular element of felt or other suitable material. The heart valve is positioned on the stent, with its marginal portions overlapping it and affixed to it by sutures.
