PROSTHETIC HEART VALVE

Abstract: an implantable prosthetic valve includes an annular frame comprising an inflow end and an outflow end, and a row of outflow cells at the outflow end; and a leaflet structure positioned within the annular frame and configured to permit blood flow from the inflow end to the outflow end and block blood flow from the outflow end to the inflow end. the row of outflow cells is formed by a first row of angled struts and a second row of angled struts, and a plurality of axial frame members bridging the first row of angled struts and the second row of angled struts. the plurality of axial frame members only extends between the first and second rows of angled struts. each outflow cell is formed by at least eight struts. at least some axial frame members are connected to respective apices formed by the first row of angled struts.
