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 hemodynamics1-7 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
    studies1-7
  • 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 experience9,10
  • 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.
