1. A biological low profile balloon expandable prosthetic heart valve,
particularly aortic for transcatheter implantation comprising:
a valve frame of cylindrical design which consists of a valve section, along with a supporting section; and
a single continuous cylindrical biological material sewn to the valve frame wherein an upper part of the cylindrical biological material is folded into a cuff and is attached to the valve frame supporting section on an outside of the frame and the cuff is folded into the interior of the frame wherein the cuff is attached to posts in the valve section, and the upper parts of the cuff which are not attached to the posts, on each side of the post are connected with each other on the valve frame establishing commissures thereby forming valve leaflets.
