Abstract
An implant includes an expandable frame having a continuous lumen and has (a) an upstream row of upstream cells and (b) at least two downstream rows of downstream cells. An upstream portion of each cell is shaped by ascending and descending struts that form a respective peak that points in an upstream direction. A valve member is disposed within the lumen and facilitates unidirectional flow of blood from an upstream end of the frame to a downstream end of the frame. A covering has (i) a first portion entirely covering an outer surface of a downstream row of downstream cells, and (ii) a second portion partially covering an outer surface of an upstream row of downstream cells. Outer surfaces of the peaks of the upstream row of downstream cells are disposed upstream of an upstream end of the covering at the outer surface. Other embodiments are also described.
