catheter-delivered leaflet/plastic Explanation: Hi Alice. I think you're on track with "leaflet" here. See the first link below for anatomy of the heart with "leaflets" as detailed in the example sentences. Second link is source for the second example, which involves a leaflet fastener delivered by a catheter. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2012-02-06 14:10:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Well, it's a good thing I'm not your cardiac surgeon. It turns out that entire valves are now being delivered by catheter, which I didn't think possible: http://www.mayoclinic.org/news2009-mchi/5359.html So, "valve" might indeed be the right choice here. Example sentence(s):
