Embodiments of the invention provide for a unidirectional flow valve. For example, embodiments of the invention include a method of providing a unidirectional flow valve to a vein that include folding a first portion of a vein over an adjacent second portion of a vein and engaging at least two opposing areas of the second portion of the vein to adjacent areas of the first portion of the vein. The at least two opposing walls of the second portion of the vein define the unidirectional flow valve. At least one support device may be inserted into the forded valve region of the vein to maintain the folded configuration of the valve.

Ladite invention concerne une valve unidirectionnelle et, notamment, un procédé pour former une valve unidirectionnelle dans une veine, lequel procédé consiste à replier une première partie d'une veine sur une deuxième partie de veine adjacente et à engager au moins deux zones opposées de cette deuxième partie de veine sur des zones adjacentes de la première partie de la veine. Les au moins deux parois opposées de cette deuxième partie de veine définissent la valve unidirectionnelle. Au moins un dispositif support peut être inséré dans la région de valve pliée de ladite veine de façon à maintenir la configuration pliée de cette valve.
