Abstract
The disclosure pertains to profile reduction seals associated with heart valve replacements which may reduce or eliminate paravalvular regurgitation and methods of fabricating such seals. The generally cylindrical multilayer seals of the disclosure include a crown-like end and reinforcing elements which facilitate compression of the seal and associated device by minimizing bunching of the seal as it enters a delivery system.
