The inflow portion radially extends from a first end of the valve-retaining tubular portion and the pair of support arms are circumferentially spaced apart and radially extend from an opposing second end of the valve-retaining tubular portion. The inflow portion is formed from a plurality of struts that outwardly extend from the first end of the valve-retaining tubular portion with adjacent struts of the plurality of struts being joined, wherein each strut of the plurality of struts has a substantially s-shaped profile and at least one twisted area.
