Apparatus is provided, including a prosthetic device, having a single flow field therethrough, adapted for implantation in a subject, and shaped so as to define a fluid inlet and a diverging section, distal to the fluid inlet. The prosthetic device includes a plurality of axially-extending struts (112) which extend along at least a portion of the diverging section and diverge outwardly, such that distal ends of the struts are spaced further from one another than proximal ends of the struts thoughout a cardiac cycle of the subject. The diverging section includes a diverging envelope (111), coupled to the struts, which is adapted to assume an open position thereof during systole, permitting blood flow through the device, and which is adapted to collapse to a closed position thereof during diastole, inhibiting blood flow through the device.

L'invention concerne un appareil, y compris un dispositif prothétique, possédant une zone d'écoulement fluidique unique, conçu pour être implanté sur un sujet et formé d'une entrée de fluide et d'une section divergente située à distance de l'entrée de fluide. Le dispositif prothétique comprend une pluralité d'entretoises s'étendant axialement (112) au moins le long d'une partie de la section divergente et qui s'écartent vers l'extérieur, de sorte que les extrémités distales des entretoises soient encore plus espacées des extrémités proximales des entretoises pendant le cycle cardiaque du sujet. La section divergente comprend une enveloppe divergente (111) reliée aux entretoises, qui est conçue pour se décontracter dans une position ouverte au cours de la systole pour permettre l'écoulement du sang dans le dispositif, et qui est conçue pour se contracter dans une position fermée au cours de la diastole pour empêcher l'écoulement du sang dans le dispositif.
