What is a Magna Ease pericardial valve?
What is a Magna Ease pericardial 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.
Is Magna Ease valve mechanical?
The Magna Ease model 3300TFX valve is a stented bovine pericardial tissue valve fixed using glutaraldehyde solution and treated with the proprietary ThermaFix processes (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA). This is a proprietary fixation method to reduce calcification in the pericardial tissue.
What is a Magna Ease valve made of?
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 trifecta tissue heart valve?
The Trifecta aortic bioprosthesis is a stented bovine pericardial tissue heart valve created exclusively for the aortic position. It is designed for supra-annular placement. Supra-annular placement of an aortic bioprosthesis is one approach to optimize the haemodynamic result of an aortic valve replacement.
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 mechanical valve?
Mechanical valves Mechanical heart valves are made from materials such as titanium and carbon. They usually consist of two leaflets and a metal ring surrounded by a ring of knitted fabric, which is sewn onto the heart in place of the original valve.
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How many pericardial valves have been replaced by Edwards?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.
What are the features of the Perimount Magna ease valve?
Ease of Implant. The PERIMOUNT Magna Ease valve offers many key design features that enhance the valve’s ease of implant. Demonstrated hemodynamic performance.
When to consider alternative therapies for pericardial valves?
Warnings: Alternative therapies should be considered in the presence of conditions affecting calcium metabolism or when calcium containing chronic drug therapies are used, including children, adolescents, young adults and patients on a high calcium diet or maintenance hemodialysis.
