A method of installing occluders in a prosthetic heart valve by compressing an exterior surface (17) of an orifice housing (15) of the body (13) of the prosthetic heart valve. Compression of the orifice housing occurs at four discrete locations, causing the orifice housing to distend sufficiently for insertion of occluders between diametrically opposed pivot supports (23, 25) on the interior surface (19) of the orifice housing.

La présente invention concerne un procédé de pose de dispositifs d'occlusion dans une valvule cardiaque artificielle, consistant à comprimer une surface externe (17) d'une enveloppe ajourée (15) du corps (13) de la valve artificielle. La compression de l'enveloppe ajourée se fait à quatre points distincts, ce qui induit une distension suffisante de l'enveloppe ajourée pour permettre l'introduction des dispositifs d'occlusion entre les supports à pivots (23, 25) diamétralement opposés sur la surface interne (19) de l'enveloppe ajourée.
