Abstract
The present technology is a prosthetic heart valve device, and related systems and methods, for treating a native valve of a human heart having a native annulus and native leaflets. One embodiment comprises a valve support, a prosthetic valve assembly within the valve support, and an anchoring member. The device further includes an extension member coupled to the anchoring member and having an annular first portion coupled to the anchoring member and a second portion coupled to the first portion. The extension member is folded in a delivery configuration such that the first portion overlaps the second portion. When released from the a delivery catheter, the extension member unfolds such that the first portion extends radially outwardly from the anchoring member and the second portion extends radially outwardly from the first portion.
