Claims17
A method of manufacturing a prosthetic venous valve for transcatheter delivery and deployment, comprising:
- arranging a sheet of biological tissue in a substantially flat orientation, wherein the sheet is formed by cutting a contiguous biological tissue to have a shape with a top section and a bottom rectangular section, wherein the top section defines the shape of a cusp having a belly curve;
- folding the top section over the bottom rectangular section to form an apex of a monocusp shape of a leaflet;
- suturing the top section onto the bottom rectangular section to form margins of the monocusp shape;
- and
- rolling opposite lateral edges of the rectangular section into a generally cylindrical shape to form a monocusp leaflet of a prosthetic venous valve capable of placement via a catheter.
