Summary:The present invention is a replacement mitral valve suitable for catheter-based deployment. The replacement mitral valve has structure and dimensions that are uniquely suited to engage the annulus surrounding the native mitral valve and to restore normal function to a diseased valve. The invention describes the structures and functions of a replacement mitral valve and methods that are adapted for minimally invasive, catheter-based deployment of the valve. La présente invention concerne une valvule mitrale de remplacement appropriée pour un déploiement basé sur un cathéter. La valvule mitrale de remplacement a une structure et des dimensions qui sont appropriées de manière unique pour accoupler l'espace annulaire entourant la valvule mitrale d'origine et pour restaurer une fonction normale d'une valvule malade. L'invention décrit les structures et les fonctions d'une valvule mitrale de remplacement et des procédés qui sont conçus pour un déploiement de la valvule basé sur un cathéter, mini-invasif.
