Summary: | Concepts disclosed relate to multi-frame prosthetic valves including leaflet and anchor frame subcomponents, where the leaflet frame subcomponent does not directly couple with patient anatomy and is separated from the anchor frame subcomponent by a gap / space. An optional connecting sheath may be provided to interconnect the subcomponents and assist with prosthetic valve delivery and deployment. One or more bridging members, or annular groove covers, are provided to bridge and cover gap or space between the anchor frame subcomponent and leaflet frame subcomponent, such as at the inflow and/or outflow ends of the subcomponents. Such bridging/cover features may provide smoother flow profiles, reduce incidence of complications, facilitate perfusion during delivery, assist with device nesting during delivery, assist with relative subcomponent positioning following delivery, or provide any of a variety of additional or alternative functions and advantages. |
