Abstract
An assembly includes a holder device and a non-self-expandable prosthetic heart valve. The prosthetic heart valve can be radially compressed from an expanded configuration to a compressed configuration. The holder device is configured to hold the prosthetic heart valve in the expanded configuration and to allow the prosthetic heart valve to be inserted in a crimping device so that the prosthetic heart valve can be crimped onto a valve mounting portion of a delivery apparatus.
