18. An implant system for surgical replacement of a valve of a patient, the valve having a valve annulus, a orifice and native leaflets, comprising:
-
an implant valve device structured to have a shape of the valve to be replaced and being structured for placement within the valve annulus, the device including at least one frame and at least one valve leaflet, the leaflet including artificial chordae tendineae that is structured to control the motion of the valve beyond the valve annulus; and a stent device, the stent device being structured to have a shape of the valve so that when a radial force is applied on the native valve leaflets when the stent is implanted in the orifice, a passage is formed in the valve, the passage being structured to receive the implant valve device when implanted into the orifice. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
