Data provided by company:

  • Identical in design to the Biocorâ„¢ stented tissue valve which delivers proven 20 year durability
  • Low profile design provides optimal coronary ostia clearance
  • Includes Linx AC Technology which is designed to improve long-term performance
  • The outflow edge is covered with a pericardial shield, providing a tissue-to-tissue interface to reduce the risk of abrasion
  • Note there are only spare data about hemodynamics (only middle size valves)

Comments Surgery:

  • Stented porcine valve, larger stent-to-annulus ratio than Epic aortic valve, flexible stent reduces leaflet stress, adapts easily to annulus, low profile design (coronary ostia), 2 x 10-second rinse time
