Abstract: A cardiac-valve prosthesis (1), which can be used, for example, as valve for percutaneous implantation, comprises an armature (2) for anchorage of the valve prosthesis in the implantation site. The armature (2) defines a lumen for passage of the blood flow and supports a set of leaflets (3) comprising prosthetic valve leaflets (3a, 3b, 3c), which, under the action of the blood flow, are able to move into a radially divaricated condition to enable the flow of the blood through said lumen in a first direction and a radially contracted condition, in which the valve leaflets (3a, 3b, 3c) co-operate with one another and block the flow of the blood through the prosthesis (2) in the opposite direction. The armature (2) comprises: 
- two annular parts (20a, 20b) connected by anchorage formations (22), which extend as connection of the annular parts (20a, 20b), with the capacity of projecting radially with respect to the prosthesis (1); and 
- supporting formations (24) for the set of leaflets (3), said formations being carried by at least one of the annular parts (20a, 20b) so as to leave substantially disengaged the aforesaid lumen for passage of the blood.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to a device for supplying gas, wherein a gas mixture is evaporated from a gas supply agent and cryogenic fluid, in that the mixture under pressure in a supply tank is fed through a pressure-reducing valve, so that the mixture is completely evaporated and the vapor is fed to a good for supplying gas. According to a first aspect of the present invention, the mixture is temperature-controlled in the storage tank such that it forms a supercritical fluid. Distillation of the gas supplying agent is thereby prevented. According to a second aspect of the present invention, the evaporated mixture is atomized by adding compressed air, and the ratio between the mixture and the compressed air is adjusted by means of interchangeable vanes and/or adjustable pressure-reducing valves. The ratio between the mixture and the compressed air can thereby be freely varied.
