Abstract
The present invention relates to a radially collapsible frame () for a prosthetic valve, the frame () comprising an outflow end region () at a proximal end of the frame () and an inflow end region () at a distal end of the frame (), opposite to the outflow end region (). The frame () further includes at least two radially spaced commissure attachment regions (″) and a cell structure (), composed of a plurality of lattice cells being arranged radially around a flow axis of the frame () and connecting the at least two commissure attachment regions (″). Finally, at least one anchoring/positioning arch (″) is provided, wherein said at least one anchoring/positioning arch (″) radially overlaps the cell structure () at least partially. In order to form the inventive frame from as a single piece, the invention further relates to a method comprising bending the at least one anchoring/positioning arch (″) towards the cell structure () of the frame ().
