Prosthetic valve support structures of this specification include a body portion, an atrial flange portion, and a leaflet engaging portion. As the support structure (and the valve as a whole) is pushed out of or otherwise unrestrained from a delivery device, the free end(s) of the leaflet engaging portion will begin to bend radially outward or away from the body portion and will continue bending as more is exposed until its free end(s) are angled in an inflow direction, thereby positioning themselves between the radial outside of the native valve leaflets and the outflow track beyond the native valve annulus. As the support structure fully expands, the native valve leaflets remain trapped or engaged between the leaflet engaging portion and the body portion.
