Abstract
An implantable prosthetic valve includes a frame and a leaflet structure positioned within the frame. The frame has a plurality of angled struts arranged to form a plurality of circumferentially extending rows of closed cells, including an uppermost row of closed cells defining an outflow end of the frame. The leaflet structure includes a plurality of leaflets, each having two opposing commissure portions and a lower edge portion coupled to the frame. Each commissure portion is paired with an adjacent commissure portion of an adjacent leaflet to form a commissure of the leaflet structure. The frame has a plurality of commissure support portions supporting respective commissures. The commissure support portions are positioned axially along the frame entirely within the uppermost row of closed cells. The commissure support portions are circumferentially spaced apart from each other by a plurality of closed cells of the uppermost row of closed cells.
