<p>A prosthetic cardiac valve body (25) of flexible material includes a flexible stent member (10) which may be either attached to the cardiac valvular member (25) or molded therein. The stent member is formed by a plurality of adjacent filaments (F) which are bound together by suturing, braiding, jacketing or encapsulating. The prosthetic cardiac valve body (25) may be either a flexible heart valve (20) or an annuloplasty ring. Post members (34) are formed into the stent member (10) when the stent member is used in the flexible heart valve.</p> |
