Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT Magna Ease Aortic Heart Valve

Where MAGNA hemodynamics
meets EASE of implantation.

The advanced Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT Magna Ease aortic valve adds enhanced implantability to the unsurpassed hemodynamics^1-7 of the Magna valve platform - setting the new standard for tissue valve performance.

Ease of implantation

Low profile eases insertion and aortotomy closure
Low stent base maximizes coronary ostia clearance
Sleek commissure posts ease insertion and enhance knot tying
Suture markers aid in valve orientation and suture placement
Contoured and compliant sewing ring provides an optimal anatomic fit

Proven superior hemodynamics

Industry-leading EOAs and low gradients documented in multiple published studies^1-7
Based on a proven design with published hemodynamic stability up to 17 years post-implantation⁸

Designed for endurance

Built on the proven performance of PERIMOUNT aortic valves, with over 27 years of clinical experience^9,10
The Carpentier-Edwards ThermaFix process* is the only anti-calcification technology designed to confront both major calcium binding sites

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