A device for positioning during surgery, a heart valve prosthesis (50) having a general annular configuration with an inside diameter that includes a handle and an introducer/rotator (2). The handle has a proximal end and a distal end. The introducer/rotator (2) is attached to the distal end of the handle and has a length (64) in operative relation to the inside diameter of the valve prosthesis. The introducer/rotator (2) has a width (62) that is less than the length (64), which facilitates intercostal insertion through a patient's ribs.

L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant de positionner, pendant une opération chirurgicale, une prothèse de valvule cardiaque (50) ayant une configuration générale annulaire présentant un diamètre intérieur, comprenant un manche et un dispositif (2) permettant d'introduire/de faire tourner ladite prothèse. Le manche présente une extrémité proximale et une extrémité distale. Le dispositif (2), qui permet d'introduire/de faire tourner la prothèse, est fixé à l'extrémité distale du manche et sa longueur (64) est en rapport fonctionnel avec le diamètre intérieur de la prothèse de valvule. Le dispositif (2) permettant d'introduire/de faire tourner la prothèse présente une largeur (62) qui est inférieure à la longueur (64), ce qui facilite son insertion intercostale chez un patient.
