ABSTRACT:
An annuloplasty ring and support assembly includes a ring support that has a peripheral wall with a peripheral shoulder surface, and a flange extending at generally right angles to the shoulder surface. The flange is removed or terminated in a selected portion of the peripheral wall so that the shoulder surface is unobstructed and provides a backing support against which a cutting force will be reacted when the annuloplasty ring is cut.
