An implantable prosthetic valve (100) has an in situ formable support structure. The valve comprises a prosthetic valve (104), having a base and at least one flow occluder. A first flexible component is incapable of retaining the valve at a functional site in the arterial vasculature. The first component (126) extends proximally of the base of the valve. A second flexible component (128) is incapable of retaining the valve at a functional site in the arterial vasculature. The second component extends distally of the base of the valve. At least one rigidity component (300) combines with at least one of the first and second flexible components to impart sufficient rigidity to the first or second components to retain the valve at the site.
L'invention concerne une prothèse valvulaire implantable qui comporte une structure support pouvant être formée in situ. La valvule comprend une prothèse valvulaire comportant une base et au moins un élément d'occlusion d'écoulement. Un premier élément flexible, qui se déploie de manière proximale par rapport à la base de la valvule, ne permet pas de retenir la valvule à un site fonctionnel du système des vaisseaux artériels. Un second élément flexible, qui se déploie de manière distale par rapport à la base de la valvule, ne permet pas de retenir la valvule à un site fonctionnel du système des vaisseaux artériels. Au moins un élément rigide coopère avec le premier et/ou le second élément flexible afin de lui/leur conférer une rigidité suffisante pour retenir la valvule audit site.
