Mrt-compatible valve prosthesis for use in the human or animal body for replacement of an organ valve or a vessel valve

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The invention relates to a biological or artificial valve prosthesis for use in the human or , animal body for replacement of an organ valve or a vessel valve in particular , a cardiac , valve prosthesis or venous valve prosthesis with a stent or without a stent, with a supporting valve framework, with at least one valve and with at least one conductor loop , that forms the inductance of an electrical resonance circuit. In order to provide a simple , and inexpensive valve prosthesis that can be viewed in the MR imaging technique and is , also easy to implant the invention proposes that the at least one conductor loop forms the , valve framework and/or the valve or supporting areas of …
