    Abstract: Prosthetic heart valves having a low profile are disclosed which comprise an annular, right cylindrical, metal stent covered with fabric around which a glutaraldehyde-stabilized pericardial valving element is attached. The valving element is formed of three leaflets, each having a plateau on a truncated triangle extending higher at the center than at the edges, and formed as a cylinder having a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the stent. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the stent has upright legs which have radiused upper tips which are approximately one-half the width of prior art stent legs. These narrow tipped stent legs reduce stress induced in the leaflets by curvature of the leaflets around the tips of the stent legs in the closed position, extending the service life of the valve. Tabs are added to the tips of the stent legs to add structural strength. These tabs can be tapered or straight but their bottom portions must be narrower than the stent legs. The tabs have a plurality of holes in them through which coaptation stitches are passed. The coaptation stitch can be two separate stitches, one in a first plane and one in a second plane at 90° to the first plane, or, in the preferred embodi- . ment, a single figure eight stitch passing through the holes in the tab in a plane coincident with the long axis of the stent leg.

    Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve comprising:

    a) a stent comprising:

    1) a ring with scallops formed therein defining an aperture with inflow and outflow ends; and
    2) a plurality of legs coupled to said ring extending upwardly toward said outflow end, said stent being dimensioned such that the quotient of the radius of curvature of mobile tissue measured at the point of greatest curvature divided by the thickness of said tissue is greater than or equal to five at all points of contact between said tissue and said stent;

    b) a plurality of tissue leaflets attached to said stent and to each other to form a valving element; and
    c) a plurality of coaptation means in the vicinity of the tips of said stent legs for causing joining of the edges of said tissue leaflets.
