Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method for assembling a prosthetic valve includes obtaining (1) a frame assembly that includes a tubular portion and ventricular legs that extend radially outward from the tubular portion, and (2) a piece of flat, flexible material shaped to define (i) a belt, and (ii) strips extending from the belt along a respective strip-axis. Each strip is folded into a pocket by folding the strip over itself, about a fold-line that is orthogonal to the strip-axis, thereby forming (i) a first strip-portion that extends from the belt to the fold-line, and (ii) a second strip-portion that extends from the fold-line back toward the belt, and stitching together the first and second strip-portions at the first edge, and the first and second strip-portions at the second edge. Each leg is slid into a pocket. The belt is wrapped around the tubular portion. Other embodiments are also described.
