A prosthetic heart valve for replacing a native valve includes a stent extending between an inflow end and an outflow end, and a valve assembly disposed within the stent. The prosthetic heart valve may include a supra-annular feature configured to anchor and seal the prosthetic valve above the native valve annulus and a sub-annular feature configured to anchor and seal the prosthetic valve below the native valve annulus. Each of the sub-annular feature and the supra-annular feature may be a sealing ring or a strut that extends radially outward from the stent. The prosthetic heart valve may be implanted in the patient via a sutureless approach and provide anchoring in a variety of patient populations, including those with resected native valve leaflets.
