CardioGraft® Aortic Valve
A human aortic valve for aortic valve replacement
- Allograft tissue most closely resembles the patient’s native tissue
- The use of human tissue alleviates the need for anticoagulants
- Effective orifice area closely approximates the native valve
- Anterior mitral leaflet retained for use in endocarditis/abscess reconstruction
- Availability in various sizes to best fit the patient’s anatomy
-
Safety: Allografts offer a high resistance to infection
