Patent ID: 11931256

Abstract:
Disclosed is a prosthetic heart valve, wherein the prosthetic heart valve comprises: a ring-shaped stent, comprising: a mesh structure which allows the stent to be contracted or expanded in a radial direction; and a leaflet structure, comprising a plurality of leaflets, each leaflet is attached to the stent and has a first portion disposed within the stent and a second portion being wrapped to an outer circumferential side of the proximal end of the stent. With a growth of the heart, the stent can be expanded after the prosthetic heart valve is anchored, to allow the prosthetic heart valve to operate in different states, and under at least one of the different states, each leaflet has an excessive portion freely sagging to a position away from the stent along a direction from the distal end to the proximal end, to allow the stent to form a more functional valve.
