1. A prosthetic heart valve comprising:
a main body comprising an inflow end portion and an outflow end portion;
an occluder extending between the inflow end and outflow end portions and comprising valve leaflets attached to the main body in an arrangement that: (i) allows blood flow through the occluder in a direction from the inflow end portion toward the outflow end portion along a central axis of the occluder and (ii) prevents blood flow through the occluder in a direction from the outflow end portion toward the inflow end portion;
a first anterior flap extending from the outflow end portion in a first direction that is transverse to the central axis; and
a second anterior flap extending from the outflow end portion in the first direction,
wherein a cross-sectional shape of the first and second anterior flaps taken perpendicularly to the first direction is arcuate from an outer edge of the first anterior flap to an outer edge of the second anterior flap.
