Abstract
A prosthetic heart valve includes an outer frame, an outer sealing skirt, an inner frame, an inner sealing skirt, a plurality of prosthetic leaflets mounted within the inner frame, and a plurality of connecting arms connecting the inner frame to the outer frame so that the inner frame is positioned radially inward of the outer frame. A bridging skirt extends from the outer sealing skirt to an inflow edge of the inner sealing skirt. The bridging skirt covers a gap between the inner frame and the outer frame. The inner sealing skirt may include at least one trench that interrupts an otherwise circular shape of the inflow edge of the inner sealing skirt, the trench extending in an outflow direction of the prosthetic heart valve.
