Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A prosthetic heart valve configured for transcatheter implantation is provided, the prosthetic heart valve including a prosthetic valve frame and a plurality of prosthetic leaflets and arranged to facilitate one-way inflow-to-outflow fluid flow in a proximal-to-distal direction when the prosthetic heart valve is in an expanded state. The prosthetic valve frame includes a plurality of struts, and is shaped so as to define a plurality of intermediate nodes that are intermediate proximal and distal ends of the prosthetic valve frame. A portion of the plurality of struts are intermediate struts. Each intermediate node has at least four struts extending therefrom, the at least four struts including (a) a distally-extending pair of two struts the at least four struts, and (b) a proximally-extending pair of two struts of the at least four struts. Other embodiments are also described.
