1. A method of implanting a prosthetic mitral valve in a patient, the method comprising:
inserting, into the patient, a system of multiple catheters configured to deliver the prosthetic mitral valve;
engaging, to a deployment frame system, the system of multiple catheters, the deployment frame system comprising:
a plurality of clamps, each clamp of the plurality of clamps configured to releasably clamp a proximal end portion of a respective catheter of the multiple catheters;
a first frame, wherein each clamp of the plurality of clamps is configured to releasably couple with the first frame; and
a second frame, wherein at least one clamp of the plurality of clamps is configured to releasably couple with the second frame; and
manipulating the deployment frame system to implant the prosthetic mitral valve in a heart of the patient, wherein implanting the prosthetic mitral valve in the heart of the patient comprises: delivering an anchor assembly of the prosthetic mitral valve to a mitral valve annulus of the heart and delivering a valve assembly of the prosthetic mitral valve into engagement with the anchor assembly.
