Zusammenfassung:	A guide wire being capable of guiding a catheter along a vessel is provided. The guide wire includes a distal portion which is positionable within a target site and includes a deployable pre-shaped structure capable of occupying a volume. In one embodiment, the guide wire is configured for use in positioning a catheter used for delivering a prosthetic heart valve. L'invention porte sur un fil-guide permettant de guider un cathéter le long d'un vaisseau. Le fil-guide comprend une partie distale qui peut être positionnée au sein d'un site cible et comporte une structure déployable pré-façonnée apte à occuper un volume. Dans un mode de réalisation, le fil-guide est conçu pour être utilisé pour positionner un cathéter permettant la mise en place d'une valvule cardiaque prothétique.
