PROSTHETIC HEART VALVES

Abstract: prosthetic valves including a frame and a plurality of leaflets disposed within a lumen of the frame. the frame is radially compressible and expandable to transition the prosthetic valve between a compressed configuration and an expanded configuration. in some examples, the frame can include two rows of cells, each cell defining an aperture. the first, inflow row of cells can be generally diamond-shaped and the second, outflow row of cells can be generally chevon-shaped. in some examples, the frame including the two rows of cells is an outer frame and the prosthetic valve further includes an inner frame.
