<p>A prosthesis for a cardiovascular valve comprises a support structure (210) having a peripheral wall which defines a through-hole, a valve structure which is supported by the support structure (210) and which comprises prosthetic leaflets (220a - 220c) which are configured to selectively close the through-hole of the support structure (210) so as to restore, during use, the functionality of a unidirectional valve, and an anchoring member (225) which is separate from the support structure (210). The anchoring member (225) and the support structure (210) are configured so as to be coupled to each other, after implantation in the body of a patient, co-operating in order to entrap and lock the valve leaflets (135a - 135b) of the cardiovascular valve of the patient between the peripheral wall of the support structure (210) and the anchoring member (225) so as to keep the prosthesis (200) in position.</p> |
