Abstract
A method for assembling a prosthetic heart valve can include forming a leaflet assembly from a plurality of leaflets. Each leaflet can include opposing commissure tabs. The leaflet assembly can be formed by pairing a commissure tab of each leaflet with an adjacent commissure tab of an adjacent leaflet and connecting each pair of commissure tabs to a commissure support member to form a respective commissure assembly of the leaflet assembly. The method can further include positioning the leaflet assembly within an interior of an expandable annular frame. The frame can define a plurality of openings. The method can further include inserting each of the commissure assemblies through a respective opening of the frame so as to position the commissure assemblies on an exterior of the frame.
