Abstract
An articulated prosthesis, left in the patient's heart for repairing a tricuspid or mitral valve, is conceived so as to grip simultaneously all the three leaflets of the tricuspid valve, or the two of the mitral valve, so as to make them lay distended fully in the valve plane and assume a final configuration as in the common surgical procedure. It is also disclosed a related catching device and a device for repairing a tricuspid or mitral valve.
