The present invention provides a tricuspid valve mouth of a human heart comprising an outer frame (100) connected to an inner stent (200) carrying a tricuspid bioprosthesis (210) and a sealing skirt (610). Related to the assembly. The outer frame (100) is configured to hold its position within the self-tricuspid valve annulus. The inner stent (200) is connected to the outer frame by one or more fixed strands. The sealing skirt (610) covers the gap space that exists between the outer frame (100) and the inner stent (200). In particular, the use of the deformable region of the frame, various alternative embodiments of the sealing skirt, the use of a frame comprising a plurality of subsections, the use of a fixed strand between the stent and the frame, and the assembly in self-organization Developments have been described that include the use of fixation elements for fixation, the use of sensors and / or actuators, and also the use of stents in the inferior vena cava. A method embodiment is described. |
