==Original Abstract Submitted==

A prosthetic heart valve includes a frame with a plurality of strut members, the frame being radially collapsible to a collapsed configuration and radially expandable to an expanded configuration, the frame having an inflow end and an outflow end, and defining a longitudinal axis. A leaflet structure is coupled to the frame and configured to regulate blood flow through the frame. A fabric sealing member is disposed around the frame, the sealing member being resiliently stretchable between a first state corresponding to the radially expanded configuration of the frame and a second state corresponding to the radially collapsed configuration of the frame. The sealing member has two ends, and the two ends are secured together by a seam.
