1. Apparatus comprising a valve prosthesis for attachment to a native valve complex of a subject, the prosthesis configured to assume a compressed delivery state and an uncompressed implantation state, the prosthesis comprising:

  • a support frame, which is shaped so as to define an upstream inlet having upstream-most ends that are tapered in an upstream direction toward a central longitudinal axis of the prosthesis when the prosthesis assumes the compressed delivery state, wherein the upstream-most ends of the inlet converge to within 2 mm of the central longitudinal axis when the prosthesis assumes the compressed delivery state; and

    a flexible prosthetic heart valve component, coupled to the support frame.
