Abstract

Prosthetic heart valves and methods of use of prosthetic heart valves may be provided. In one implementation, a prosthetic heart valve may include an annular outer frame, an inner frame, and at least one connector configured to secure the outer frame to the inner frame. The connector may be spaced apart from at least one of the downstream end of the outer frame or the downstream end of the inner frame. The prosthetic heart valve may be configured to maintain a greater distance between the downstream ends of the outer and inner frames when the prosthetic heart valve is radially compressed than when the prosthetic heart valve is radially expanded.
