An annuloplasty prosthesis (10) for supporting an annulus (36) of a heart valve (38) includes a substrate material (12) over which a covering (20) of a biocompatible and biological tissue material is applied. The substrate (12) may be formed of a generally rigid material (e.g., a plastic or metal) in which the substrate (12) has a predetermined shape corresponding to an annulus (36) of the heart valve (38). Alternatively, the substrate (12) may be formed of flexible material (e.g., a soft cloth or natural tissue), which may be adjusted at implantation to accommodate the size and configuration of annulus (36).

La présente invention concerne une prothèse annuloplastique (10) servant en support pour un annulus (36) de valve cardiaque. Cette prothèse est faite d'un matériau substrat (12) pourvu d'un habillage (20) fait d'un matériau tissulaire biologique et biocompatible. Le substrat (12) peut être fait d'un matériau généralement rigide tel qu'un plastique ou un métal, le substrat présentant une forme définie correspondant à un annulus (36) de valve cardiaque (38). Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le substrat peut être en matériau souple tel qu'un produit textile doux ou un tissu naturel qui s'ajuste à l'implantation pour s'adapter aux dimensions et à la configuration de l'annulus (30).
