A prosthetic heart valve comprises a biological tissue valve and a collapsible and expandable support frame having a longitudinal axis. The frame comprises an outflow circumferential structure defining an outflow end of the frame and consisting essentially row of diamond-shaded expandable cells. The frame also comprises three V-shaped structures spaced apart from the outflow circumferential structure and three struts longitudinally aligned with the longitudinal axis of the frame. The three struts are configured to facilitate mounting the biological tissue valve to the frame and interconnect the outflow circumferential structure to the three V-shaped structures. The frame also includes three undulating structures, each of the three undulating structures interconnecting respective adjacent V-shaped structures of the three V-shaped structures. The prosthetic heart valve is configured to be collapsed for introduction into a patient using; a catheter and to be expanded for deployment at an implantation site. |
