ESOPHAGEAL VALVE

摘要

A valve such as an esophageal valve (1) has a normally closed configuration in which the valve (1) is closed and an open configuration in which the valve (1) is opened for flow through the valve (1). A support (102) for the valve (1) is adapted for mounting to a pre-deployed luminal prosthesis (140) intermediate a proximal end and a distal end of the predeployed luminal prosthesis (140).
