    摘要: The techniques of this disclosure generally relate to a valve prosthesis include a prosthetic valve, a stent structure having suture slots, an outer skirt, and outer skirt sutures. The outer skirt sutures attach the outer skirt to the stent structure. The outer skirt sutures are located within the suture slots. By recessing the outer skirt sutures within the suture slots below an inner surface of the stent structure, contact between the outer skirt sutures and valve leaflets of the prosthetic valve is avoided. By avoiding contact between the outer skirt sutures and the valve leaflets, damage to the valve leaflets due to abrasive contact with the outer skirt sutures is prevented.
