  • Publication number: 20240277472
    Abstract: A covering for a prosthetic valve comprises a first portion configured to couple to an outflow side of a prosthetic valve and a second portion configured to couple to an inflow side of the prosthetic valve. The first portion is annular in shape and has a first edge alternating between one or more first tips and one or more first valleys. The second portion is also annular in shape and has a second edge alternating between one or more second tips and one or more second valleys. The one or more second tips are configured to couple to the one or more first tips to at least partially cover posts of the prosthetic valve. The one or more second tips have a tapered form.
