Abstract
Systems and methods for synthesis of covers for valvular prosthetics are described. Generally, covers can be synthesized via depositing, submersion, and/or printing. Covers can be synthesized directly onto a valvular frame or synthesized on a temporary substrate and transferred onto the valvular frame. Covers can be synthesized having one or more layers. The covers and the various layers can be synthesized or treated to obtain beneficial properties.
