Abstract: An articulated prosthesis, left in the patient's heart for repairing a tricuspid or mitral valve, is disclosed. The prosthesis is designed to grip simultaneously all the three leaflets of the tricuspid valve, or two of the mitral valves, so as to make them lay distended fully in the valve plane and assume a final configuration as in the common surgical procedure, with the leaflets pulled towards the center of the valve.

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.

Abstract: An emergency management method comprising a device (1) for emergency calls and a central management information centre (30); said method comprises the steps of: recognizing a danger situation on the basis of processing of the signals provided by at least one movement sensor (13) and by a GPS module (11), positioned in said device (1); said step of recognizing a state of danger comprises the steps of: verifying a variation of the position obtained by said GPS module (11), verifying that the value of said at least one movement sensor (13) has exceeded a predefined limit; entering a state of attention if said checks are positive; said method, having recognized said state of attention, comprises the steps of: activating a timer for a first time; and if the position obtained by said GPS module (11) has not varied within said first time, and the value of said at least one movement sensor (13) is below a given predefined sensitivity threshold, within said first time, said method enters a state of alarm; said method
