Solving the challenges of native and prosthetic endocarditis for more than 20 years.
The Ideal Valve® for:
Native and prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis
Adult and pediatric valve replacement
Small aortic root requiring AVR
Women of childbearing age requiring AVR
AVR patients who need to avoid prosthesis-patient mismatch
Active lifestyle without anticoagulation therapy
Clinical Support
Homografts, such as CryoValve Aortic Valves, are recommended by the current STS Clinical Practice Guidelines3 for patients with extensive active endocarditis destruction of the aortic annulus (Class I, Level of Evidence B) and can be considered for patients with endocarditis without annular destruction, especially when the potential for reinfection is elevated. (Class IIa, Level of evidence B).
Benefits of CryoValve Aortic Valves
In Cardiac Reconstruction:
Flexibility to allow tailoring for extensive root reconstruction.
Available with attached anterior mitral valve leaflet for repair of defects caused by resection of abscesses.
A True, Stentless Valve
Allows for an unobstructed left ventricular outflow tract and the attendant advantages of normal physiology.
Indications
CryoValve Aortic Allografts are indicated for the replacement of diseased, damaged, malformed, or malfunctioning native or prosthetic aortic valves, with the option of root replacement. Aortic heart valve allografts are used to repair both congenital and acquired valvular lesions. It is not necessary to match allograft valve type with implant side (i.e., an aortic allograft can be used to replace a dysfunctional pulmonary valve).5
