  • Publication number: 20230263632
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods related to heart valve prostheses. The prosthesis includes an anchor and a frame. The anchor is shaped to encircle chordae and/or leaflets of a native heart valve. The frame is configured to sit within the anchor and the native valve such that the anchor encircles and anchors the frame in place. At least a portion of the anchor is configured to be visible using surgical visualization techniques during delivery of the prosthesis within the heart. The anchor can include an echogenic portion configured to enable viewing of the echogenic portion with ultrasound during delivery of the prosthesis.
