Abstract
A heart valve system, the system including a radially self-expandable tubular body and a valve. The tubular body having an inflow end and an outflow end such that the outflow end includes a proximal section and a plurality of beams. The plurality of beams being disposed distally of the proximal section in an outflow direction. Additionally, the tubular body including struts with peaks and valleys at the inflow end of the tubular body such that the proximal section of the outflow end is disposed distally of the peaks and valleys in the outflow direction. Furthermore, the tubular body being configured such that movement of the proximal section of the outflow end radially inward causes the inflow end to flare radially outward, and an arrangement of the struts being configured such that movement of the peaks radially inward causes the valleys to flare radially outward.
