Hancock® II Aortic and Mitral Bioprostheses

Optimized Hemodynamic Performance

The Hancock® II aortic bioprosthesis was designed to provide optimum stented valve hemodynamic performance. Aspects of the Hancock® II bioprosthesis that contribute to excellent hemodynamic performance include:

Clinical and Laboratory Results

In-vitro and in-vivo results of hemodynamic studies with the Hancock® II aortic bioprosthesis demonstrate excellent laboratory and clinical hemodynamics. [David, Reimold]

Echocardiographic Studies

Hemodynamic results derived from echocardiographic studies show excellent results. Postoperative studies (mean follow-up 11 months) with Hancock® II aortic valve patients show gradients less than 14 mm Hg in all sizes (see figure below).
