What is a Edwards Magna bovine pericardial valve?

The Edwards Pericardial Aortic Bioprosthesis, Model 11000A, is a stented trileaflet valve comprised of RESILIA bovine pericardial tissue that is mounted on a flexible frame. The valve is stored under dry packaging conditions and consequently does not require rinsing prior to implantation.

What is a Magna valve?

The Magna Mitral Ease valve is built upon the proven, time-tested PERIMOUNT valve design, with unique design elements including: Mathematically modeled, bioengineered design. Intended to optimize implantability, hemodynamics and long-term durability. Flexible cobalt-chromium alloy stent.

What is an Edwards valve?

The Edwards SAPIEN 3 and SAPIEN 3 Ultra Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) System each consists of a catheter-based artificial aortic heart valve and the accessories used to implant the valve without open-heart surgery. The valve is made of cow tissue attached to a balloon-expandable, cobalt-chromium frame for support.

What is Perimount valve made of?

Stented valves are made from porcine aortic valves (e.g., Mosaic) or from bovine pericardial tissue (e.g., Carpentier-Edwards Perimount; see Fig. 10-1 D). The stents facilitate implantation and help maintain the three-dimensional structure of the valve.

What is a pericardial tissue heart valve?

The pericardial heart valve was invented by Marian Ionescu, a British surgeon working at the General Infirmary in Leeds, England. He created this artificial bioprosthetic heart valve as a three-cusp structure made of chemically treated bovine pericardium attached to a Dacron cloth-covered titanium frame.

What is Carpentier valve?

The Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT Magna Ease pericardial 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.

Can leaky heart valve cause death?

Heart valve leakage/regurgitation can force the heart to work harder to do its job. The condition can lead to heart failure, sudden cardiac arrest, and death.

How many pericardial valves have been replaced by Edwards?

Bourguignon, T, et al. Very late outcomes for mitral valve replacement with the Carpentier-Edwards pericardial bioprosthesis: 25 year follow-up of 450 implantations. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2014 Nov;148:2004-11.

Which is aortic valve does Carpentier-Edwards use?

The Carpentier-Edwards aortic pericardial valve portfolio is built upon the PERIMOUNT bioprosthesis design. The Carpentier-Edwards aortic pericardial valve portfolio is built upon the PERIMOUNT bioprosthesis design.

What is the Magna mitral ease valve made of?

Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT Magna Mitral Ease valve. Built upon the unique and proven PERIMOUNT design, the Magna Mitral Ease valve gives you and your patients: The Magna Mitral Ease valve is built upon the proven, time-tested PERIMOUNT valve design, with unique design elements including: Mathematically modeled, bioengineered design.

How old is the mitral Carpentier pericardial valve?

Marchand MA, et al. Fifteen-year experience with the mitral Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT pericardial bioprosthesis. Ann Thorac Surg. 2001 May;71 (5 Suppl):S236-9. (Freedom from structural valve deterioration; n = 435; mean age = 60.7 ± 11.6 yrs)
