Abstract
A two-component valve prosthesis system includes a docking component and a prosthetic valve component that is configured to be delivered separately from the docking component. The docking component has a compressed configuration for percutaneous delivery within a vasculature and an expanded configuration for deployment within a native heart valve. The docking component includes a tubular skirt, a first annular scaffold attached to a first end of the tubular skirt and a second annular scaffold attached to a second end of the tubular skirt. The first and second annular scaffolds are independent from each other. An intermediate portion of the tubular skirt is unsupported such that neither of the first or second annular scaffolds surrounds the intermediate portion of the tubular skirt. The prosthetic valve component has a compressed configuration for percutaneous delivery within a vasculature and an expanded configuration for deployment within the intermediate portion of the docking component.
