Abstract

Embodiments include implantable valves with attached polymeric components. In an embodiment, an implantable valve is included having a frame comprising a plurality of frame struts. The frame defines a central lumen and at least one of the frame struts defines a connection aperture. The implantable valve can include at least one valve leaflet including a coaptation edge and two connection portions, with one connection portion disposed on either end of the coaptation edge. The connection portion can be disposed within the connection aperture thereby coupling the valve leaflet to the frame. Other embodiments are also included herein.
