SUPRA-ANNULAR VALVE . ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An aortic prosthetic valve for supra-annular implantation comprising a valve body of generally annu- lar configuration and a valve element movably mounted on the valve body for opening and closing the valve. the valve body terminates in a generally annular base surface, and a scalloped suture ring circumscribes the valve body adjacent the base surface. The suture ring is configured to approximately fit the contour of the Sinuses of Valsalva at the base of the aorta. The base surface of the valve body is of a wavy configuration and is configured such that it does not project into the an- nulus at the base of the aorta, and accordingly, the valve body does not interfere with flow through the an- nulus. The suture ring has three lobes which fit the Sinuses of Valsalva at the base of the aorta. The valve is configured to minimize disruption of the vortices which develop in the Sinuses of Valsalva to assist in closing the valve.
