Data provided by company:
- The graft is on a master standard valve sewed
- Minimizes the potential for patient prosthesis mismatch
- Expanded cuff - 15% more cuff than standard HP cuff
- Promotes ease of suturing
- Conforms to the annulus
- Eases suturing and reduces tension on coronaries
- 33% larger effective orifice area( 25 mm Masters HP Valved Graft compared to a 25 mm Masters Valved Graft)
- Pyrolytic carbon leaflets and orifice ring offer exceptional durability and increased thromboresistance 10
- 85 degree leaflet opening angle offers improved laminar flow and reduces turbulence2-4
- Controlled torque rotation mechanism allows for easy rotation and intraoperative adjustment
Comments Surgery:
- Bileaflet design, supra-annular placement, rotation mechanism for intraoperative adjustment, large effective orifice area, expanded sewing cuff design, size: 19-29mm, Gelweave Valsalva Graft, no pre-clotting
Comments Echocardiography:
- There is no published hemodynamic in vivo data.
- According to manufacturer, the mean gradients are identical to the Aortic Masters Series.
- EOAI identical for for Masters HP valved graft and Masters valved graft.
