Atraumatic Braided Stent for Textile Valve Endoprosthesis
INTRODUCTION Percutaneous approach is now investigated11 to replace diseased aortic valve. Less invasive than open heart surgery, this solution requires a substitute to usual surgeon acts on the implantation site, called stents. These metallic structures are used to maintain the valve prosthesis on the beating heart and help to implant the valve via a vascular access. Most of existing device121 are not specifically designed to undergo heart valve solicitations and consequently tend to injure the aortic environment. This could lead to recovery complications. In this work we present a stent specifically designed for percutaneous aortic valve replacement, which respects the aortic root features and minimizes tissue traumatism.
