  • The pericardial heart valve was invented by Marian Ionescu, a British surgeon working at the General Infirmary in Leeds, England. (wikipedia.org)
  • The experimental and in vitro testing of this novel device took place in 1970, and in March 1971, Ionescu began, for the first time, the implantation of the pericardial valve in all three cardiac positions in humans. (wikipedia.org)
  • Throughout these five years of usage in 212 patients the performance of the pericardial valve was thoroughly evaluated. (wikipedia.org)
  • Based on these results, the Shiley Laboratory in Irvine, California, began to manufacture this valve and to distribute it worldwide under the name of the 'Ionescu - Shiley Pericardial Xenograft. (wikipedia.org)
  • These modifications had been progressively introduced and all of them were incorporated in the 'Ionescu - Shiley Low Profile Pericardial Xenograft' valve, which became available in 1983. (wikipedia.org)
  • Despite all these difficulties and impediments, a general view of the performance of the pericardial valve as close to reality as possible could be obtained. (wikipedia.org)
  • From 1993 to 1997, 93 patients with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) demonstrated bileaflet prolapse and without anterior chordal rupture or important anterior chordal elongation had primary isolated mitral valve repair consisting only of posterior leaflet resection (quadrangular in 28 and sliding in 65) and annuloplasty (Cosgrove-Edwards in 83, pericardial in 9, and Carpentier-Edwards in 1).

  • Studied degenerated aortic bioprostheses were represented by two Carpentier-Edwards Supra Annular Valve (porcine leaflets), one Edwards Perimount (pericardial leaflets) and one Medtronic Mosaic (porcine leaflets). (hal.science)
  • [3] [4] It consists of three leaflets of bioprosthetic pericardial valve tissue mounted on a self-expendable nitinol stent, which expands from the left ventricular outflow tract ( LVOT ) to the ascending aorta . (wikidoc.org)
  • This prosthesis is considered the second generation of the Cribier-Edwards valve. (wikidoc.org)
  • With this in mind, Edwards Lifesciences developed the INSPIRIS RESILIA valve. (edwardseducation.com)
  • Edwards Lifesciences Corporation, the world leader in the science of heart valves, today announced that it has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT Magna Ease aortic valve, designed for easier implantation in the heart. (medlatest.com)
  • Also at the AATS annual meeting, Edwards is introducing the PORT ACCESS EndoDirect System, which allows cardiac surgeons to stop a patient's heart and keep it at rest for the duration of the heart valve procedure without an incision down the middle of the chest. (medlatest.com)
  • Edwards' new offerings are designed to give cardiac surgeons additional choices in tailoring procedures based on their preferred surgical approach and the needs of their patients," said Donald E. Bobo, Jr., Edwards' corporate vice president, heart valve therapy. (medlatest.com)
  • Edwards' representatives and information about the Magna Ease aortic valve and the EndoDirect System will be available at Booth #303 at the AATS 2009 meeting, May 10-12 in Boston. (medlatest.com)
  • A key challenge with pericardial tissue is structural valve deterioration (SVD), much of which is due to calcium buildup. (edwards.com)
  • The INSPIRIS RESILIA aortic valve is made of RESILIA tissue, a bovine (cow) heart tissue that has been preserved with a special Edwards technology designed to reduce calcium build-up on the valve tissue and allow the valve to be stored dry. (yourtissuevalve.com)
  • The INSPIRIS valve is built on the proven Carpentier-Edwards Perimount valve design - which has helped over one million patients worldwide. (yourtissuevalve.com)
  • Thus, the heart team elected to proceed with transapical, transcatheter, double valve-in-valve implantation employing 2 RetroFlex 3 transfemoral devices (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California), which were the only FDA approved devices at the time of the procedure. (acc.org)
  • First, a 26 mm Edwards SAPIEN transcatheter heart valve (THV) was deployed, under rapid pacing, inside the Carpentier Edwards valve in the aortic position. (acc.org)
  • Approximately 200,000 pericardial valves manufactured by Shiley Laboratories were distributed around the world between 1976 and 1987 and it is presumed that most of them were implanted in patients. (wikipedia.org)
  • RESILIA tissue tested against tissue from commercially-available bovine pericardial valves from Edwards in a juvenile sheet model. (edwards.com)
  • To date, one of the most commonly used prosthetic ring is the commercially available Carpentier-Edwards Physio II mitral ring (CE ring), which comes in 9 different sizes (size 28-40) [ 3 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
