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.
What is a Magna Ease valve made of?
The Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT Magna Ease Pericardial Bioprosthesis Model 3300TFX is a trileaflet valve comprised of bovine pericardium that has been preserved in a buffered glutaraldehyde solution and mounted on a flexible cobalt-chromium alloy frame.
What is a Magna valve?
The new valve (Perimount Magna Mitral Ease, Carpentier-Edwards) is a pericardial tissue-based bioprosthetic device for patients requiring replacement of diseased mitral heart valves.
How long does a pericardial tissue heart valve last?
Tissue valves can last 10 to 20 years, and usually don’t require the long-term use of medication.
What is bioprosthetic mitral valve?
Artificial heart valves are often known as mechanical heart valves and made from metallic alloys or plastic materials. In bioprosthetic heart valves, the valve tissue is typically from an animal species and mounted on a frame, known as a bioprosthesis.
