Abstract
An implantable prosthetic valve can include a radially expandable and collapsible annular frame having an inflow end and an outflow end. A valvular structure can be positioned within the frame. A plurality of sealing members can be positioned around an outer surface of the frame, wherein the sealing members are configured to transform from an unfurled configuration extending along the outer surface of the frame when the frame is in the radially collapsed configuration to a coiled configuration when the frame is radially expanded to the radially expanded configuration.
