Carbomedics Reduced Aortic Position Bild

Data provided by company:

  • The CarboMedics prosthesis offered relatively little resistance to forward flow except at small anulus diameters3

Comments Surgery:

  • Bileaflet design, small sewing cuff for improved seating in a smallerannulusorsmallroot, rotatability in-situ, lowprofile

Comments Echocardiography:

No valve specific characteristics available:

  • Flow characteristics sited by company originate from same article (Chambers et al. ). However, no differences have been made between different subtypes of valves
  • No hemodynamic data available for valve sizes other than 19mm
