A prosthetic tricuspid heart valve system includes a collapsible anchor frame and a collapsible prosthetic heart valve. The anchor includes a support structure having a waisted central portion, and atrial and ventricular flared portions sized to clamp a native valve annulus. Atrial and ventricular sheets are coupled to the atrial and ventricular flared portions, and each include a central aperture. A generally cylindrical fabric valve-receiving member has an inflow end coupled to the atrial sheet and an outflow end coupled to the ventricular sheet to provide a conduit through the valve-receiving member between the atrial and ventricular sheet. The prosthetic heart valve may include a stent and a plurality of prosthetic leaflets, the prosthetic heart valve configured to be expanded into and received within the valve-receiving member of the anchor frame.
A prosthetic heart valve system for replacing a native right atrioventricular valve, the system comprising:
