METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TREATING DISEASED VALVE

摘要

A native tricuspid valve (5) with a valve implant (10) of the present invention being installed in each leaflet (7). The valve implants (10) allow blood to flow therethrough, in one direction, even though the native tricuspid valve (5) remains closed. The valve implants (10) would similarly work in a native bicuspid valve, unicuspid valve or quadricuspid valve alleviating problems associated with calcified tissue (9) of a stenosed native valve (5).
