A prosthesis for annuloplasty comprising a perforated element

摘要

A prosthesis (10) for annuloplasty comprising a laminar or tubular element (18) having a plurality of apertures (20) along at least one portion. In this prosthesis (10) shape, dimensions and arrangements of the apertures (20) are for example chosen in such a way as to give the prosthesis (10) a differentiated flexibility in dependence on the location and direction of application of an external stress. <IMAGE>
