Abstract:
A prosthetic heart valve for replacing a native valve includes a collapsible and expandable stent extending between a proximal end and a distal end. The stent includes an annulus section adjacent the proximal end and having a first diameter, a plurality of first struts forming cells, and a plurality of second struts connected to the annulus section and forming a plurality of deflecting cells expandable to define a second diameter larger than the first diameter. A valve assembly is disposed within the stent and a cuff is coupled to the stent and covers the plurality of deflecting cells.
