Zusammenfassung:	A prosthetic heart valve including a frame, leaflet structure, and sealing member disposed around an outer surface of the frame is disclosed. An inflow end of the frame is defined by a plurality of spaced apart inflow apices. As one example, the sealing member has a circumferentially extending inflow edge and a circumferentially extending outflow edge, where the inflow edge is attached to the plurality of inflow apices, and where the inflow edge has an undulating shape around a circumference of the frame.
