Abstract
Assembly methods for installing a valvular structure to an expandable annular frame of a prosthetic heart valve are described. The valvular structure has a multiple leaflets, each with a pair of tabs. Each tab of the leaflet has upper and lower portions. Commissures formed by paired tabs of adjacent leaflets are coupled to corresponding commissure windows to support the valvular structure within the frame. Each commissure window has upper and lower openings separated from each other by a crossbar and may have an H-shape. The upper and lower tab portions extend through the upper and lower openings, respectively, of the corresponding commissure window. One or more wedge members coupled to the tab portions can prevent the leaflet tab from passing back through the commissure window, thereby retaining the valvular structure to the annular frame.
