Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of heart valves, in particular to a valve stent and an artificial heart valve. BACKGROUND

[0002] The valve stent is a medical device mainly used to support and fix the heart valve to prevent valve insufficiency or stenosis. The heart valve is an important component in the heart, responsible for regulating the direction and speed of blood flow. However, due to various reasons such as rheumatic heart disease, senile degeneration, etc., the heart valve may become abnormal, causing impaired heart function. The valve stent helps to repair or replace the damaged valve by implanting inside the heart, restoring the normal function of the heart.
