Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Docking stations are configured to retain and position a transcatheter heart valve in a circulatory system. The docking stations can comprise an expandable frame. The docking stations can include an enlarged first end portion having a first outer radial portion with a first major lateral dimension, an enlarged second end portion having a second outer radial portion with a second major lateral dimension, and a narrowed central waist portion having an inner radial portion with a third major lateral dimension smaller than the first and second major lateral dimensions. A retaining portion is at least partially defined by at least one of the first and second end portions, and a valve seat is at least partially defined by the waist portion. The docking station can be configured to adapt a native tricuspid valve to accept a smaller transcatheter heart valve.
