Abstract
The present technology is a prosthetic heart valve device, and related systems and methods, for treating a native valve of a human heart having a native annulus and native leaflets. One embodiment comprises a valve support, a prosthetic valve assembly within the valve support, and an anchoring member having an upstream portion and a downstream portion. The device further includes an extension member coupled to the fixation frame and extending radially outward therefrom. The extension member includes a plurality of wires, at least a portion of which include an inner core surrounded by an outer material. The wires include a plurality of recesses extending through at least a portion of the thickness of the outer material, and a therapeutic agent in the recesses for delivery to the anatomy when the prosthetic heart valve device is positioned at a native annulus.
