摘要:
A polymeric heart valve is disclosed which includes a valve body having a central axis and including a conduit extending along the central axis from an inflow end to an outflow end; and at least three flexible leaflets extending from the body into the conduit, each of the leaflets defining an attachment curve with the body. Respective pairs of leaflets each define a commissure located proximal the body. The at least three leaflets define a partially open position at rest, a fully open position deflecting away from the central axis during forward blood flow along a direction from the inflow end to the outflow end, and a closed position deflecting toward the central axis during reverse blood flow along a direction from the outflow end to the inflow end.
