The invention provides a device for fine adjustment of a prosthetic valve device and a method of adjusting the position of a prosthetic valve after implantation. The adjustment mechanism includes complementary structures on a valve member and device frame that cooperate to provide relative axial and/or angular motion between the valve member and device frame (and thus the native vessel). The adjustment mechanism of the invention may also include a means for selectively maintaining the relative position of the valve member and device frame. The device and method are particularly applicable for use with a modular prosthetic valve device that is assembled in the body lumen.
L'invention concerne un dispositif de réglage fin de dispositif de type valve prothétique et un procédé de réglage de la position d'une valve prothétique après implantation. Le mécanisme de réglage comporte des structures complémentaires sur un élément valve et un cadre de dispositif coopérant pour assurer un mouvement axial et/ou angulaire relatif entre l'élément valve et le cadre de dispositif (et donc le récipient natif). Le mécanisme de réglage de l'invention peut également comporter un moyen de maintenance sélective de la position relative de l'élément valve et du cadre de dispositif. Le dispositif et le procédé sont applicables en particulier pour s'utiliser avec un dispositif de type valve prothétique modulaire que l'on assemble dans le lumen corporel.
