The frame includes one or more tissue engaging elements, which is some examples are apices of the frame formed by struts of the frame. The frame and/or the apices can be configured to engage native tissue at an implantation location to retain the position of the frame without damaging the native tissue. A docking station can also include a sealing skirt and/or a protective cover coupled to the frame. The sealing skirt can reduce retrograde blood flow through and/or around the frame. The protective cover can reduce damage to the native tissue.
