    Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve, which may include an expandable annular outer frame having a tubular portion and at least one tissue anchor portion configured to extend from the tubular portion, may be provided. The at least one tissue anchor portion may have a plurality of attachment locations. The prosthetic heart valve may also include an expandable inner frame configured at least partially within the expandable annular outer frame. The expandable inner frame may be connected to the expandable annular outer frame solely at one or more of the plurality of attachment locations of the at least one tissue anchor portion.

    Abstract: Prosthetic heart valves and methods of implanting prosthetic heart valves may be provided, including a method of implanting an expandable prosthetic valve within a native mitral valve between a heart atrium and a heart ventricle. The prosthetic valve may be constrained from expansion during delivery and may include an annular valve body, a plurality of ventricular anchors, and a plurality of atrial anchors. The method may include releasing the plurality of ventricular anchors within the atrium, releasing the plurality of atrial anchors within the atrium, moving the released ventricular anchors through the mitral valve and into the ventricle, and after moving the released ventricular anchors from the atrium to the ventricle, releasing the annular valve body. As a result, the prosthetic valve may be anchored within the mitral valve.
