Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Described embodiments are directed toward prosthetic heart valve leaflets of particular shapes that control bending character. In accordance with an embodiment, a prosthetic heart valve includes a longitudinal axis and comprises: a leaflet frame; and a plurality of leaflets that are coupled to the leaflet frame, each leaflet including a leaflet free edge and a leaflet base that is narrower than the leaflet free edge, wherein the leaflet base of each leaflet is truncated such that the leaflet defines a line in an alpha plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and which corresponds to an attachment line along which the leaflet base is coupled to the leaflet frame. 19417120_1 (GHMatters) P99884.AU.4
