Claim 0:
1. A device for checking the function of an aortic valve, wherein the device is configured to be used in conjunction with a cylindrical tubular prosthesis having two ends, so that in use it may be positioned above the aortic valve, said device being configured to be mounted on a first end of a cylindrical tubular prosthesis being inserted into an aorta, wherein the second end of the prosthesis is configured to be connected to an aortic wall in a region of the aortic valve, wherein the device consists of:
(a) a multipart housing (1) provided with an inlet opening connected to at least one flow channel (4) for a fluid which passes through the device, and
(b) a peripheral sealing device (7) on a bottom region (8) of the housing, wherein said peripheral sealing device (7) is adapted for mounting on an edge of the first end of the tubular prosthesis (10), and
wherein at least one pressure measuring sensor (13) and at least one optical sensor (12) are provided on the bottom region (8) of the housing for recording video to check the functioning of the aortic valve, and
wherein the at least one flow channel (4) has an inlet opening (5) arranged in a top side (9) of the housing (I) which in use faces away from the first end of the tubular prosthesis (10), the inlet opening wherein the flow channel branches within the housing (1) to a channel that terminates in an annular outlet opening (6) at the bottom (8) of the housing.
