VENOUS VALVE PROSTHESIS FOR REDUCTION OF PRESSURE EFFECTS OF CARDIAC TRICUSPID VALVE REGURGITATION

摘要

A method of protecting an upper body and a lower body of a patient from high venous pressures comprising implanting a first stented valve at the superior vena cava and a second stented valve at the inferior vena cava, wherein the first and second valves are configured to permit blood flow towards a right atrium of the patient and prevent blood flow in an opposite direction.
