Sorin Group Perceval S (Sutureless Aortic Valve)

In Stock

Specifications

Design:
- Valve Material: Bovine pericardium leaflets treated with anticalcification technology.
- Stent Frame: Self-expanding nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy) structure for optimal anchoring and flexibility.
Sizes:
- Available in four sizes: S (19-21 mm), M (22-23 mm), L (24-25 mm), XL (26-27 mm) to accommodate varying aortic annulus dimensions.
Implantation:
- Sutureless, designed for fast deployment using a proprietary delivery system.
- Anchors within the aortic annulus through radial expansion and interaction with native annular tissue.
Valve Characteristics:
- Orifice Area: Provides excellent hemodynamics with low transvalvular gradients.
- Durability: Engineered for long-term performance in elderly patients, typically lasting 10-15 years or more.
Compatibility:
- Designed for both minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and conventional open-heart surgical approaches.

Description

Sorin Group Perceval S (Sutureless Aortic Valve)

Key Features

Sutureless Design:
- Eliminates the need for traditional sutures, significantly reducing implantation time.
- Particularly beneficial in complex or re-operative surgeries.
Self-Expanding Technology:
- The nitinol frame ensures secure anchoring and adaptability to patient-specific anatomy.
Hemodynamic Performance:
- Large effective orifice area minimizes pressure gradients, ensuring optimal blood flow.
Simplified Procedure:
- Reduced cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-clamp times, leading to lower operative risks.
Minimally Invasive Capabilities:
- Suitable for transcatheter and small-incision surgical approaches, enabling faster recovery.
Anticalcification Treatment:
- Protects valve leaflets against calcium deposition, extending valve longevity.

Indications

Severe Aortic Stenosis:
- Symptomatic patients requiring valve replacement, especially those with high surgical risks.
Aortic Valve Regurgitation:
- Patients requiring surgical intervention to restore normal valve function.
High-Risk or Elderly Patients:
- Ideal for patients with reduced tolerance for prolonged surgical procedures.

Procedure Overview

Preparation:
- The patient’s aortic valve is excised, and the annulus is prepared for the prosthetic valve.
Deployment:
- The Perceval S valve is compressed into a delivery system and positioned within the aortic annulus.
- The nitinol frame expands upon release, anchoring securely without the need for sutures.
Verification:
- Proper placement and function are confirmed intraoperatively using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
Completion:
- The procedure is completed with significantly reduced cross-clamp and bypass times.

Clinical Benefits

Reduced Operative Time:
- Shorter cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamp times lower surgical risks, especially in elderly or high-risk patients.
Minimally Invasive Approach:
- Enables faster recovery and less post-operative discomfort compared to traditional AVR procedures.
Improved Outcomes:
- Excellent hemodynamic performance results in enhanced patient quality of life and reduced heart strain.
Ease of Use in Re-Operations:
- Simplified implantation is particularly advantageous in repeat surgeries or complex cases.
Durability:
- Long-term reliability and reduced risk of structural valve deterioration.

The Sorin Group Perceval S Valve offers cutting-edge technology for aortic valve replacement, simplifying surgical procedures while ensuring excellent patient outcomes. It is particularly suited for modern minimally invasive techniques and high-risk surgical populations.
