Abstract
A prosthetic heart valve includes a collapsible and expandable outer frame, a collapsible and expandable inner frame, and a prosthetic valve assembly. The outer frame may be configured to engage tissue of a native heart valve, and may have (i) an atrial portion adapted to be positioned on an atrial side of the native heart valve; (ii) a ventricle portion adapted to be positioned on a ventricle side of the native heart valve; and (iii) a narrowed waist portion between the atrial portion and the ventricle portion. The inner frame may be positioned radially inward of the outer frame and may be coupled to the outer frame. A constraining band may extend around a circumference of the inner frame. The prosthetic valve assembly may be coupled to, and positioned radially inward of, the inner frame.
