Prior to this announcement, the Perceval was limited to patients who were 75 years or older. Now, the Perceval can be used on patients with severe aortic stenosis that are over the age of 65.
If this is your first time hearing of the Perceval sutureless aortic valve replacement device, you may want to know the following:
The valve is "sutureless" which means it does not need to be stitched into the heart
To maintain its position in the heart, the Perceval uses "self-anchors" shown above
The valve is made the tissue of a cow
Because the valve is sutureless, the procedure time is reduced thereby minimizing the patient time on the heart lung machine
