Abstract
A transcatheter valve prosthesis includes a stent having a crimped configuration for delivery within a vasculature and an expanded configuration for deployment within a native heart valve. The stent includes at least one axial frame member. The transcatheter valve prosthesis includes at least one outflow marker positioned on the at least one axial frame member. The transcatheter heart valve prosthesis may include inflow markers positioned within the inflow portion of the stent. The transcatheter heart valve prosthesis may include two outflow markers disposed on axial frame members and being circumferentially and longitudinally offset from each other. The markers are configured to aid in axial and circumferential aligned of the transcatheter heart valve prosthesis within a native heart valve.
