Where MAGNA hemodynamics meets EASE of implantation.
The advanced Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT Magna Ease aortic valve adds enhanced implantability to
the unsurpassed hemodynamics1-7 of the Magna valve platform - setting the new standard for tissue valve performance.
Ease of implantation
-
Low profile eases insertion and aortotomy closure
-
Low stent base maximizes coronary ostia clearance
-
Sleek commissure posts ease insertion and enhance knot tying
-
Suture markers aid in valve orientation and suture placement
-
Contoured and compliant sewing ring provides an optimal anatomic fit
Proven superior hemodynamics
-
Industry-leading EOAs and low gradients documented in multiple published studies1-7
-
Based on a proven design with published hemodynamic stability up to 17 years post-implantation8
Designed for endurance
-
Built on the proven performance of PERIMOUNT aortic valves, with over 27 years of clinical experience9,10
-
The Carpentier-Edwards ThermaFix process* is the only anti-calcification technology designed to confront both major calcium binding sites
* No clinical data are available which evaluate the long-term impact of the Edwards Lifesciences tissue treatment in patients.
