The device includes a transporter catheter having a proximal end and a distal end, at least a first balloon located adjacent to the distal end, and at least a second balloon located between the first balloon and the proximal end of the transporter catheter. The first balloon is configured for holding a prosthetic device in place. In another embodiment, the transporter catheter has a third balloon, an orienting balloon, substantially at the tip of the distal end of the transporter catheter.
