The invention concerns a support (1) comprising a structure adapted to be radially contracted to enable the insertion of the support (1)/valve (2) assembly into the patient's body, and to be unfolded to enable said structure to be supported against the wall of the site to be equipped with the cusp. The invention is characterised in that the support structure comprises: an axial portion (3) supporting the cusp (2), having a thread or thread network structure adapted to be supported against the cardiac ring (10) remaining after removal of the deficient native cusp: at least an axial wedging portion (4), having a thread or thread network structure separate from the structure of said axial portion (3) of the cusp support, and with a diameter greater than the diameter of said axial portion (3) enabling it to be supported against the wall bordering said remaining cardiac ring (10); at least a thread (5) linking point-to-point said portions (3, 4).
Ce support (1) comprend une structure susceptible d'être contractée radialement pour permettre l'introduction de l'ensemble support (1) - valve (2) dans le corps du patient, et d'être déployée pour permettre la prise d'appui de cette structure contre la paroi du site à équiper de la valve. Selon l'invention, la structure du support (1) comprend: une portion axiale (3) de support de valve (2), présentant une structure en fil ou en réseau de fils propre à prendre appui contre l'anneau cardiaque (10) subsistant après le retrait de la valve native déficiente; au moins une portion axiale de calage (4), présentant une structure en fil ou en réseau de fils distincte de la structure de ladite portion axiale (3) de support de valve, et de diamètre supérieur au diamètre de ladite portion axiale (3) lui permettant de prendre appui contre la paroi bordant ledit anneau cardiaque subsistant (10); et au moins unfil (5) reliant ponctuellement lesdites portions (3, 4).
