Aortic valve bioprosthesis

Surgical aortic pericardial valves The Carpentier-Edwards aortic pericardial valve portfolio is built upon the PERIMOUNT bioprosthesis design. Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT pericardial aortic bioprosthesis Models 2700/2700TFX Features Bioengineered Flexible CoCr alloy stent Pericardial leaflets ThermaFix process PERIMOUNT valve Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT aortic heart valve The Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT aortic valve is the first biomechanically engineered valve designed specifically for the aortic position. It combines a proven design with the benefits of pericardial tissue. The PERIMOUNT aortic valve delivers excellent performance with proven published durability of up to 20 years PERIMOUNT aortic valves are supported by 17 years of proven hemodynamic stability Proven design Mathematically modeled, bioengineered design – optimized for hemodynamics, durability and implantability Flexible cobalt-chromium alloy stent – absorbs energy to reduce leaflet stress Three independent bovine pericardial leaflets – matched for thickness and elasticity to optimize stress distribution Indications The Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT pericardial aortic bioprosthesis is intended for use in patients whose aortic valvular disease is sufficiently advanced to warrant replacement of their natural valve with a prosthetic one. It is also intended for use in patients with a previously implanted aortic valve prosthesis that is no longer functioning adequately and requires replacement. In the latter case, the previously implanted prosthesis is surgically excised and replaced by the replacement prosthesis. Materials list Valve leaflets: Bovine pericardium Stent: Cobalt-chromium alloy
