An annuloplasty prosthesis including a sheath, an arcuate stiffening element, and an imaging element. The arcuate stiffening element is disposed within the sheath and defines discrete, first and second ends separated by a lateral spacing. The imaging element is disposed within the sheath along the lateral spacing. With this configuration, following implant to the valve annulus, the imaging element provides a mechanism for non-invasively evaluating a shape of the valve annulus, for example, via radiographic, echogenic and/or other image enhancing visualization techniques. In some embodiments, the annuloplasty prosthesis provides a radiographic, echogenic and/or other image enhanced image of a near entirety of the valve annulus.

L'invention concerne une prothèse d'annuloplastie comprenant une gaine, un élément de raidissement cintré et un élément d'imagerie. L'élément de raidissement cintré est disposé à l'intérieur de la gaine et définit une première et une seconde extrémité, discrètes, séparées par un espacement latéral. L'élément d'imagerie est disposé à l'intérieur de la gaine le long de l'espacement latéral. Avec cette configuration, après l'implant à l'anneau de valve, l'élément d'imagerie fournit un mécanisme pour évaluer de façon non invasive une forme de l'anneau de valve, par exemple, par des techniques radiographiques, échogènes et/ou d'autres techniques de visualisation améliorant l'image. Dans certains modes de réalisation, la prothèse d'annuloplastie fournit une image radiographique, échogène et/ou une autre image améliorée d'une entité proche de l'anneau de valve.
