An inflatable prosthetic cardiovascular valve which is constructed so as to be initially deployable in a deflated "collapsed" configuration wherein the valve may be passed through the lumen of a cardiovascular catheter and subsequently inflated to an "operative" configuration so as to perform its intended valving function at its intended site of implantation within the cardiovascular system. The inflated valve may be held in place by mechanical means (e.g., hooks, projections), by chemical adhesive or through biological assimilation by the heart tissue.

Une valvule cardio-vasculaire prothétique gonflable est conçue pour se présenter initialement sous une forme repliée et dégonflée dans laquelle elle peut passer dans la lumière d'un cathéter cardio-vasculaire, puis sous une forme active, c'est-à-dire gonflée pour pouvoir remplir sa fonction de valvule dans le site d'implantation auquel elle est destinée, à l'intérieur du système cardio-vasculaire. La valvule gonflée peut être maintenue en place par des moyens mécaniques tels que des crochets ou des ergots, par un adhésif chimique ou par l'assimilation biologique du tissu cardiaque.
