LivaNova PVS21 Perceal Aortic Streless Heart Valve, Size S (x)

The LivaNova PVS21 Perceval Sutureless Aortic Heart Valve, Size S, represents a breakthrough in the field of cardiac surgery, offering an innovative solution for patients requiring aortic valve replacement. This state-of-the-art, sutureless valve is designed to simplify and expedite surgical procedures, reduce recovery time, and improve patient outcomes. 

Key Features and Benefits

Sutureless Design for Rapid Deployment
One of the most significant advantages of the LivaNova Perceval Aortic Heart Valve is its sutureless design. This feature allows for rapid deployment, significantly reducing the time required for the valve replacement procedure. By eliminating the need for sutures, the Perceval valve minimizes the complexity of the surgery, reducing the time the patient spends on cardiopulmonary bypass and improving overall surgical efficiency. This can lead to better patient outcomes, including shorter recovery times and a reduced risk of complications associated with prolonged surgical procedures.

Advanced Nitinol Frame for Secure Positioning
The Perceval valve is supported by an advanced nitinol frame, a highly flexible and resilient material known for its shape-memory properties. This frame allows the valve to be compressed for easy insertion and then expanded once in place, ensuring a secure fit within the aortic annulus. The nitinol frame adapts to the patient’s anatomy, providing a customized fit that enhances the valve’s performance and durability. The self-expanding nature of the nitinol frame also ensures that the valve remains securely positioned, reducing the risk of paravalvular leaks and other complications.

Biocompatible Pericardial Tissue
The valve’s leaflets are constructed from biocompatible bovine pericardial tissue, which has been meticulously selected and treated to ensure durability and longevity. This pericardial tissue is designed to mimic the natural function of the aortic valve, providing optimal hemodynamics and reducing the risk of thrombosis and other complications. The use of biocompatible materials minimizes the risk of an immune response, ensuring that the valve is well-tolerated by the patient’s body. This contributes to the long-term success of the valve, offering patients a reliable and durable solution for aortic valve replacement.

Versatile and Adaptable for Various Patient Profiles
The LivaNova Perceval Aortic Heart Valve is designed to accommodate a wide range of patient profiles, making it a versatile option for cardiac surgeons. The Size S valve is particularly well-suited for patients with smaller aortic annuli, ensuring a proper fit and optimal performance. The valve’s design also makes it an ideal choice for patients who are at high risk for traditional valve replacement surgery or those with calcified or fragile aortic annuli. The adaptability of the Perceval valve allows surgeons to address a variety of clinical scenarios, providing personalized care for each patient.

Minimally Invasive Approach
The sutureless nature of the Perceval valve facilitates a minimally invasive approach to aortic valve replacement, which can be performed through smaller incisions compared to traditional open-heart surgery. This minimally invasive technique can lead to faster recovery times, less postoperative pain, and reduced scarring for patients. It also decreases the risk of complications such as infections and bleeding, making it a safer option for patients with comorbidities or those who are considered high-risk. The minimally invasive approach also allows for shorter hospital stays, enabling patients to return to their daily activities more quickly.

Enhanced Hemodynamics
The Perceval valve is engineered to provide excellent hemodynamic performance, closely replicating the natural function of the aortic valve. The valve’s design ensures unobstructed blood flow through the heart, reducing the workload on the heart and improving overall cardiac function. This can lead to improved quality of life for patients, including increased energy levels, reduced symptoms of heart failure, and better long-term cardiovascular health. The superior hemodynamic performance of the Perceval valve makes it an ideal choice for patients seeking a durable and effective solution for aortic valve replacement.

Applications and Use Cases

The LivaNova Perceval Sutureless Aortic Heart Valve, Size S, is specifically designed for patients who require aortic valve replacement, particularly those with:

Aortic Stenosis: Severe narrowing of the aortic valve, restricting blood flow from the heart.
Aortic Insufficiency: A condition where the aortic valve does not close properly, causing blood to flow back into the heart.
Patients with Small Aortic Annuli: The Size S valve is ideal for patients with smaller aortic annuli, ensuring a secure and proper fit.
High-Risk Patients: Those who are considered high-risk for traditional valve replacement surgery due to comorbidities or previous surgeries.
Elderly Patients: Elderly patients who may benefit from a less invasive procedure with a quicker recovery time.

Quality Assurance and Compliance

The LivaNova Perceval Aortic Heart Valve is manufactured to the highest standards of quality and safety. It is compliant with all relevant medical device regulations and guidelines, ensuring that it meets the stringent requirements of healthcare facilities worldwide. Each valve undergoes rigorous testing and quality control checks to ensure it meets the exacting standards expected by cardiac surgeons and healthcare providers. The commitment to quality ensures that the Perceval valve provides reliable performance and long-term durability in every patient.

The LivaNova PVS21 Perceval Sutureless Aortic Heart Valve, Size S, represents a significant advancement in cardiac surgery, offering a minimally invasive, sutureless solution for aortic valve replacement.
