Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to prosthetic valves and methods of use thereof. In one implementation, a prosthetic valve may include an annular outer frame formed at least partially of struts intersecting at outer frame junctions and an inner frame situated within the outer frame. The inner frame may be formed at least partially of struts intersecting at inner frame junctions. The valve may include at least one inner frame tissue anchor extending from an inner frame junction. Outer frame junctions along a ventricular end of the outer frame may be angularly offset from inner frame junctions along a ventricular end of the inner frame.
