ASSEMBLY FOR A CLOSURE DEVICE WHICH CAN BE IMPLANTED INTO THE SUPERIOR OR INFERIOR VENA CAVA OF A HUMAN BODY IN A MINIMALLY INVASIVE MANNER, AND TRICUSPID VALVE PROSTHESIS WHICH CAN BE IMPLANTED IN A MINIMALLY INVASIVE MANNER

摘要

The invention relates to an assembly for a closure device (1) which can be implanted into the superior or inferior vena cava of a human body in a minimally invasive manner, comprising a valve device (6), in which closure elements (9) are provided, each element extending two-dimensionally over an element surface and being movable between a closed position, in which the closure elements (9) together close a valve opening, and an open position, in which a flow through the valve opening is released; an anchor device (7) which has a self-expandable anchor and is designed to anchor the valve device (6) in the region of the superior or inferior vena cava adjacent to the venal opening to the right atrium of the heart; and a flexible sealing collar (8). The invention additionally relates to a tricuspid valve prosthesis which can be implanted in a minimally invasive manner.
