  • Interior-mounted leaflets minimize damaging  contact with the frame

Avalus features

IMPROVED IMPLANT EXPERIENCE

Avalus
  • Soft and pliable sewing cuff facilitates needle penetration, suture placement, and valve seating for an improved implant experience
  • Lower valve profile and narrow commissure posts expands ostia clearance and gives you more space for knot tying
  • Streamlined valve holder improves visibility in both standard and minimally invasive approaches
  • Simple one-cut release

PERFORMANCE AND LIFETIME MANAGEMENT

Avalus
  • Designed to achieve 100% coaptation and minimize central regurgitation
  • Valve dimensions and geometry enable future ViV replacements
  • PEEK base frame impregnated with Barium Sulfate provides for radiopacity and visibility
  • Polymer frame mitigates the risk of potential metal on metal corrosion with transcatheter stent materials
  • MRI Safe in all MR environments without conditions

The latest results of the Perigon Study, presented by Prof. Dr. Robert J.M. Klautz during EACTS 2020. The PERIGON Pivotal Trial regarding the Avalus valve is a prospective, interventional, nonrandomized, worldwide, multi-site trial, with each center following a common protocol. The study was designed in accordance with the recommendations of the EN ISO 5840:2009 standard for cardiac valve prostheses and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Heart Valve Guidance (2010; DRAFT) and conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and good clinical practice guidelines. Valve-related events and deaths were adjudicated by an independent clinical events committee (CEC). All study echocardiograms were analyzed by an independent core laboratory (MedStar Health Research Institute, Washington, D.C.). Safety oversight was provided by an independent data and safety monitoring board (DSMB). This trial is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov, NCT02088554.
