Outer skirts for a prosthetic heart valve are disclosed. As one example, a prosthetic heart valve can include an annular frame and an outer skirt disposed around an outer surface of the frame. The outer skirt can include a first portion comprising a polymeric material and a second portion comprising a fabric, where the polymeric material has a greater thromboresistance than the fabric. The second portion is secured to an inflow end of the frame and extends toward an intermediate portion of the frame and the first portion extends from the second portion and toward an outflow end of the frame
