See full text

A method of assembling a valvular structure can include folding an upper tab of a first leaflet onto a lower tab of the first leaflet, disposing a first end of a reinforcing member on the upper tab, disposing a commissure member adjacent the lower tab, and coupling the first end of the reinforcing member, the tabs of the first leaflet, and the commissure member to one another. The method can further include folding an upper tab of a second leaflet onto a lower tab of the second leaflet, disposing the second leaflet adjacent the first leaflet such that the commissure member is positioned between the lower tabs, disposing a second end of the reinforcing member on the upper tab of the second leaflet, and coupling the reinforcing member, the upper and lower tabs of the second leaflet, and the commissure member to one another to form a commissure.
