Abstract: A skirt-reinforcement member for supporting or reinforcing an unsupported portion of a skirt that spans across a side opening of a stent or frame of a valve prosthesis. The skirt-reinforcement member is configured to prevent billowing of the skirt material that spans across the side opening of the inner frame of the valve prosthesis, as such billowing may undesirably result in contact between the skirt and leaflets of the valve prosthesis after the valve prosthesis is deployed in situ.
