A valve body assembly (14) for being mounted adjacent an annulus (12) within a heart. A first retainer (16) is attached to the valve body assembly (14) for engaging a first side (12a) of the annulus (12). A second retainer (18) is attached to the valve body assembly (14) and includes a resiliently deformable retaining member (19) for resiliently engaging a second side (12b) of the annulus (12). The resiliently deformable retaining member (19) is collapsed to a size permitting it to be inserted into through the annulus (12) and positioned adjacent the second side (12b) of the annulus (12). The retaining member (19) is then allowed to expand such that it resiliently engages the second side (12b) of the annulus (12).

L'invention concerne un corps de valvule (14) destiné à être monté de façon contiguë à un anneau (12) dans un coeur. Un premier élément de retenue (16) est fixé au corps de la valvule (14) afin de pouvoir placer la première face (12a) de l'anneau (12). Un second élément de retenue (18) est relié au corps de la valvule (14) et comprend un membre de retenue élastiquement déformable (19) permettant d'engager la deuxième face (12a) de l'anneau. L'élément de retenue élastiquement déformable (19) est réduit à une taille lui permettant d'être inséré dans l'anneau (12) et d'être positionné de façon contiguë à la deuxième face (12b) de l'anneau(12). L'élément de retenue (19) peut ainsi se dilater de manière à engager élastiquement la deuxième face (12b) de l'anneau (12).
