Abstract: Methods and systems for attaching a radiopaque marker to a prosthetic heart valve to indicate a location of a commissure of the prosthetic heart valve are disclosed. As one example, a prosthetic heart valve can include a frame, a plurality of leaflets arranged within the frame, and at least one commissure comprising an attachment member comprising a central portion and a flap extending outward from the central portion, the flap folded over a radially outward facing side of the central portion, and the attachment member arranged across a selected cell of the frame. The commissure further comprises commissure tabs of two adjacent leaflets coupled to a radially inward facing side of the central portion, and a radiopaque marker arranged on the flap of the attachment member, between the flap and the radially outward facing side of the central portion.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for crimping prosthetic implants onto a delivery apparatus are disclosed. In some examples, a system for crimping a prosthetic valve to a delivery apparatus includes a support body having a central channel and a support surface that extends around the central channel, the support surface configured to receive the prosthetic heart valve thereon and the central channel configured for the delivery apparatus to extend therethrough. The system further includes a crimping device including a channel configured to receive the prosthetic heart valve and a first opening to the channel on a first side of the crimping device, the first opening configured to receive the support body therethrough.
