Abstract
Apparatus and methods are described including a valve frame () configured to support a prosthetic valve within a native atrio-ventricular valve. The valve frame () includes an atrial part () and a cylindrical part (), to which the prosthetic valve leaflets () are coupled. A plurality of chord-recruiting arms () extend at least radially from the ventricular end of the cylindrical part (). The chord-recruiting arms () are coupled to the ventricular end of the cylindrical part via stitches (), and the stitches () are configured to act as hinges, such that upon being released from a radially-constrained configuration, while the cylindrical part () is held in an at least partially radially-constrained configuration, the chord-recruiting arms () are configured to extend radially outwardly by pivoting about the stitches () with respect to the cylindrical part (). Other applications are also described.
