Abstract
A valve implant includes an occlusive assembly and a frame coupled to the occlusive assembly. The frame transitions from a collapsed state to an expanded state about a central longitudinal axis and transitioning from the collapsed state to the expanded state causes a proximal end of the frame to expand radially outward from the central longitudinal axis. The valve implant further includes an outer sheet supported on a proximal portion of the frame. The occlusive assembly is supported on a distal portion of the frame such that the inner sheet extends about the central longitudinal axis and an annular opening is defined between the outer sheet and the inner sheet when the frame is in the expanded state.
