Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a prosthetic heart valve holder specifically configured to hold a prosthetic heart valve comprised of a stent. The heart valve holder assembly has three main components: a handle, a valve capture loop assembly and a valve retainer. The prosthetic heart valve is secured to the valve retainer by a loop of suture as the surgeon sutures or attaches the valve to the annulus of the heart. Thus, the valve holder assembly facilitates attachment of the prosthetic valve to the annulus so that the procedure may be performed in a time and labor efficient manner.
