Prosthetic valve with enhanced sealing

A prosthetic valve for deployment in a native valve, the prosthetic valve comprising:

• an inner frame supporting a plurality of prosthetic valve leaflets;
• one or more ventricular anchors coupled to the inner frame, each of the one or more ventricular anchors, when in an expanded configuration, extend distally and then curve in a proximal direction;
• and
• a sealing body positioned radially outwardly of the plurality of prosthetic valve leaflets and shaped to contact a portion of a patient's heart;
• wherein the one or more ventricular anchors are configured to capture native leaflets between the one or more ventricular anchors and the sealing body for securing the prosthetic valve in the patient's heart and wherein the sealing body includes a ventricular portion including a plurality of struts separated by one or more openings for allowing the one or more ventricular anchors to pass through the sealing body in a radial inward direction when the native leaflet is not captured between the one or more ventricular anchors and the sealing body;
• wherein respective anchors of the one or more ventricular anchors are configured to be located radially inwardly of respective openings upon failing to capture the native leaflet.

A prosthetic valve for deployment in a native valve, the prosthetic valve comprising:

• an inner frame having a tubular shape and forming a lumen;
• a plurality of prosthetic valve leaflets positioned within the lumen of the inner frame for providing one way flow through the prosthetic valve;
• one or more anchors coupled to an outlet end of the inner frame;
• and
• a sealing body comprising an outer frame positioned radially outwardly of the inner frame for contacting an annulus of a heart, the outer frame having a ventricular portion having a plurality of struts separated by spaces;
• wherein the one or more anchors are capable of trapping native leaflets against an outer surface of the sealing body and wherein, in the absence of a native leaflet, each of the one or more anchors is configured to move inwardly through respective spaces when respective anchors fail to capture the native leaflet;
• wherein the one or more anchors, upon failing to capture one or more of the native leaflets of the native valve, are configured to be positioned radially inward of a respective space defined by the sealing body.

A prosthetic valve for deployment in a native heart valve, the prosthetic valve comprising:

• a valve frame;
• a plurality of prosthetic valve leaflets supported within the valve frame, the plurality of prosthetic valve leaflets configured to allow blood to flow in a downstream direction and inhibit blood flow in an upstream direction;
• a plurality of anchors coupled to a distal portion of the valve frame, each anchor configured to curve in a proximal direction when the valve frame is in an expanded configuration and having a tip, each anchor configured to hook around a native leaflet of the native heart valve;
• an outer frame positioned radially outward of the valve frame;
• and
• a skirt comprising a first portion and a second portion, the first portion positioned radially inward of the outer frame, and the second portion at least partially positioned radially outward of the outer frame, the second portion configured to receive and at least partially envelop at least the tip of at least one anchor of the plurality of anchors that fails to capture the native leaflet;
• wherein the tip of a respective anchor is configured to pass through a gap of the outer frame and to be positioned radially inward of the outer frame when the respective anchor fails to hook a respective native leaflet.
