Patent ID: 7806927

Claim:
A prosthetic valve to be positioned by an endoluminal approach, said prosthetic valve comprising: a tubular support radially deformable relative to a main axis between a deployed implantation position and a folded insertion position, said tubular support comprising a liquid-proof, solid cylindrical wall, said cylindrical wall comprising a tubular lattice covered in a liquid-proof stretchable film; a flexible shutter connected to said tubular support and deformable between an obstruction position, wherein said shutter extends transversally, and a release position, wherein said shutter is contracted transversally under force of a flow of blood through said tubular support; and a rigid stiffener member extending along an axial direction of said tubular support, said stiffener member being connected to said tubular support at least at two points spaced apart along the axial direction of said tubular support, said stiffener member being alternately engaged in mesh of said tubular lattice.
