Abstract

A prosthetic heart valve includes an outer frame, a cover, an inner frame, and a valve structure. The outer frame includes a main body and an atrial flange. The main body includes a plurality of struts forming a plurality of circumferential rows of cells, a plurality of rows of barbs extending from junctions of the struts, the atrial flange extending radially outwardly and in an atrial direction from the inflow end of the main body. The atrial flange includes an oval shape corresponding to a shape of the patient’s native valve anatomy. The cover is disposed on a radially inner side of the atrial flange and on a radially outer side of the atrial flange. The inner frame is disposed within the outer frame and has a cylindrical shape. The valve structure is coupled to the inner frame and includes a plurality of leaflets.
