A prosthetic heart valve can include an outer support assembly, an inner valve assembly, which define between them an annular space, and a pocket closure that bounds the annular space to form a pocket in which thrombus can be formed and retained. Alternatively, or additionally, the outer support assembly and the inner valve assembly can be coupled at the ventricle ends of the outer support assembly and the inner valve assembly, with the outer support assembly being relatively more compliant in hoop compression in a central, annulus portion than at the ventricle end, so that the prosthetic valve can seat securely in the annulus while imposing minimal loads on the inner valve assembly that could degrade the performance of the valve leaflets.

Apparatus and methods are described herein for use in the transvascular delivery and deployment of a prosthetic mitral valve. In some embodiments, a method includes inverting an outer frame of a prosthetic mitral valve when the valve is in a biased expanded configuration. After inverting the outer frame, the prosthetic mitral valve is inserted into a lumen of a delivery sheath such that the mitral valve is moved to a collapsed configuration. The distal end portion of the delivery sheath is inserted into a left atrium of a heart. The prosthetic mitral valve is moved distally out of the delivery sheath such that the inverted outer frame reverts and the prosthetic mitral valve assumes its biased expanded configuration. In some embodiments, actuation wires are used to assist in the reversion of the outer frame. The prosthetic mitral valve is then positioned within a mitral annulus of the heart.

Apparatus and methods are described herein for use in the transvascular delivery and deployment of a prosthetic heart valve. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes an outer sheath, a tube member movably disposed within the outer sheath, a retention device coupled to the tube member, and a valve holder. A prosthetic heart valve is disposed within the outer sheath and includes an outer frame and an inner frame that is removably coupled to the valve holder. The outer frame is disposed in an inverted configuration relative to the inner frame. A first actuation wire is releasably coupled to a first portion of the outer frame and releasably coupled to the retention device at a first location on the retention device. A second actuation wire is releasably coupled to a second portion of the outer frame and releasably coupled to the retention device at a second location on the retention device.
