Abstract

The present disclosure concerns embodiments of implantable prosthetic devices, and in particular, implantable prosthetic valves, and methods for making such devices. In one aspect, a prosthetic device includes encapsulating layers that extend over a fabric layer and secure the fabric layer to another component of the device. In particular embodiments, the prosthetic device comprises a prosthetic heart valve, and can be configured to be implanted in any of the native heart valves. In addition, the prosthetic heart valve can be, for example, a transcatheter heart valve, a surgical heart valve, or a minimally-invasive heart valve.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application Serial No. 61 / 488,599, filed May 20, 2011, based on 35 U.S.C. §119. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to implantable artificial devices, and more particularly to valve prostheses for implantation in body vessels, such as natural heart valve annulus. Background technique [0004] The human heart can suffer from various valve diseases. These valvular diseases can lead to significant dysfunction of the heart and eventually require the replacement of the natural valve with an artificial valve. There are many known artificial valves and many known methods of implanting these artificial valves in the human body. [0005] Artificial or prosthetic heart valves are classified according to how the heart valve is implanted in the body. Implantation of the surgical valve requires open heart surgery during which the heart is stopped and the patient is placed on card...
