Two Stage Tricuspid Valve Implant

A method of replacing a native right atrioventricular valve of a patient, the method comprising:

• delivering a collapsible and expandable anchor frame to the native right atrioventricular valve while the anchor frame is in a collapsed condition within a first delivery sheath;
• deploying the anchor frame from the delivery sheath, and expanding the anchor frame within the native right atrioventricular valve so that an annulus of the native right atrioventricular valve is positioned between an atrial portion of the anchor frame and a ventricular portion of the anchor frame;
• after deploying the anchor frame, allowing blood to flow through a conduit of the anchor frame, the conduit formed by a fabric valve-receiving member that has an inflow end and an outflow end, the inflow end of the valve-receiving member being coupled to an atrial sheet that is coupled to the atrial portion of the anchor frame, the outflow end of the valve-receiving member being coupled to a ventricular sheet that is coupled to the ventricular portion of the anchor frame;
• and
• after allowing blood to flow through the conduit of the anchor frame, delivering a collapsible and expandable prosthetic heart valve to the anchor frame, and causing the prosthetic heart valve to expand into contact with the valve-receiving member, the valve-receiving member maintaining the prosthetic heart valve within the native right atrioventricular valve.
