Abstract: A frame support for a cardiac tissue valve is provided of the type including a hollow, substantially cylindrical body composed of a semi-flexible structure of a material such as polypropylene, covered by a medical grade fabric. The frame support defines two fully opposite ends or entrances, to the edge of which are sewed the aortic ring and the remaining portions of the resected sinuses of Valsalva including the commissural areas of the aortic wall of an animal valve, such as a porcine valve. The frame further includes an outer-widening or suture ring which defines a continuous ridge of the same fabric material. The frame has a wavy or scalloped proximal end and a distal end; the proximal end having a number of cusps corresponding to the number of commissures of the valve supported thereby.
