Abstract: The invention relates to a mechanical prosthetic heart valve (10) comprising: an annular support (12) having an internal peripheral wall (14) centered about a longitudinal axis (X) and delimiting an internal passage, and at least two mobile leaflets, preferably three mobile leaflets (40), arranged in such a way as to each be able to effect a rotational movement about an axis of rotation perpendicular to said longitudinal axis (X) so that the valve (10) can pass from a closed configuration to an open configuration and vice versa. Each leaflet (40) comprises a leading edge (42) designed to come against a portion of the internal peripheral wall (14) of the annular support (12) when the valve is in a closed configuration, an internal surface (46b) extending from the leading edge (42), and an external surface (46a) opposite the internal surface (46b) and extending from the leading edge (42).

Each leaflet comprises a central part (46), and two lateral winglets (48a, 48b) flanking the central part (46) symmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry (Z) of the leaflet. Each winglet (48a, 48b) comprises one of two terminal portions (49a, 49b).

Abstract: A mechanical prosthetic heart valve, includes an annular support on which at least two movable flaps and several articular extensions are arranged in an articulated manner. Each flap includes a central part framed by two lateral wings that each cooperate with an articular extension by way of an end portion that has an articulation facet. The two articulation facets of each flap together make up a surface area of less than 5% of the total outer surface area of the flap.
