SUTURELESS VALVE PROSTHESIS


Recent technological developments have led to an alternative option which avoids the placement and tying of sutures, known as “sutureless” or rapid deployment aortic valves
PERCEVAL -LEVANOVA
  • Self-anchoring and self-expanding bioprosthetic valve
  • Made of bovine pericardium
  • Mounted on an elastic alloy frame
  • Sinusoidal struts (structural element) anchor the device in the Valsalva sinus and annular sealing is obtained with brief low-pressure balloon dilation

EDWARDS INTUITY
  • Based on the Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT Magna Ease aortic valve
  • A stented tri-leaflet bovine pericardial bioprosthesis (the Magna valve platform)
  • A balloon expandable, cloth-covered stent frame deployed at the inflow tract.
  • The valve is positioned supra-annularly using three guiding sutures.
  • The sutures are tied, and the aortotomy closed following frame expansion with a balloon catheter
