Devices for repairing and replacing a heart valve (18) in various embodiments, the devices (42) include at least first and second support rings connected together in a coiled configuration to abut opposite sides of a valve annulus (20). A replacement valve (260) may be secured to the coil-shaped device (262). Various alternative fastening systems include suture fastening systems, mechanical fastening systems, shape memory alloy fastening systems and other fastening systems relying only on the resilience between adjacent coils. A method generally includes inserting a first end of the coil-shaped member (42) through a valve annulus (20), rotating a first ring of the coil-shaped member (42) into position on one side of the valve annulus (20) and positioning at least a second ring of the coil-shaped member (42) on an opposite side of the valve annulus (20).

L'invention concerne des dispositifs permettant de réparer et de remplacer une valve cardiaque (18). Dans divers modes de réalisation, les dispositifs (42) comprennent au moins un premier et un second anneau de support, connectés ensemble selon une configuration enroulée pour venir en contact avec les côtés opposés d'un anneau (20) de valve. Une valve (260) de remplacement peut être fixée au dispositif enroulé (262). Parmi les divers systèmes de fixation alternatifs se trouvent des systèmes de fixation par suture, des systèmes de fixation mécaniques, des systèmes de fixation à alliage à mémoire de forme et d'autres systèmes de fixation basés uniquement sur l'élasticité entre les enroulements adjacents. L'invention concerne également un procédé consistant généralement à insérer une première extrémité de l'élément enroulé (42) par un anneau (20) de valve, à faire pivoter un premier anneau de l'élément enroulé (42) pour le mettre en position sur un côté de l'anneau (20) de valve et à positionner au moins un second anneau de l'élément enroulé (42) sur un côté opposé de l'anneau (20) de valve.
