Carpentier-Edwards Bioprosthetic Valved Conduit

With 25 years of proven performance1, the Carpentier-Edwards valved conduit is ideal for complex reconstruction with challenging congenital malformations.

Woven polyester conduit
  • 6 cm and 9 cm extensions provide ample material for adapting to varied anatomy
Exceptional durability
  • Built on the exceptional durability and hemodynamics of the Carpentier-Edwards porcine aortic bioprosthesis2,3
Eight convenient sizes
  • From 12-30 mm provides an ideal homograft alternative
Adaptable and modifiable
  • Two seam lines mark valve position and allow close cutting for precise fit
Sinus of valsalva
  • The use of a larger diameter valve than graft diameter along with integral sinus provides more physiological flow and valve closure characteristics
XenoLogiX treatment*
  • Confronts calcification using a two-step process to effectively extract the phospholipids from bioprosthetic tissue
Flexible stent
  • Reduces the loading shock on the leaflets and mimics the physiology and mechanics of natural heart valves


* No clinical data are available which evaluate the long-term impact of the Edwards Lifesciences tissue treatment in patients
