Edwards Life Sciences launches new mitral valve in the heart of China

Release date: 2013-01-30



Recently, Edward (Shanghai) Medical Products Co., Ltd. announced that the Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT mitral bovine pericardial bioprosthesis developed by the company has been approved by the State Food and Drug Administration and will be listed in China. This product is made from bovine pericardium tissue for heart valve replacement.
According to reports, in recent years, among the causes of death in China, cardiovascular disease has taken the lead, while in cardiovascular diseases, valvular disease has the largest proportion. According to epidemiological survey statistics, the incidence of valvular heart disease in China is 2.5%. ~3.2%. There are about 3.5 million patients with valvular heart disease in China, and there are more than 2 million people with valvular heart disease requiring surgery.
Hu Shengshou, dean of Beijing Fuwai Hospital, said: "PERIMOUNT mitral valve for mitral valve replacement provides a very important method for mitral valve replacement, especially for life-long anticoagulation due to lifestyle reasons. In patients treated, this valve provides excellent hemodynamic performance and long-term durability."
According to the relevant person in charge of Edward, the previous mechanical valve has caused great pain to the patient's life due to the need for life-long anticoagulant therapy. In the traditional pig biological valve, the patient will face valvular valvular valve and cause valve decay. Compared with the above two, PERIMOUNT bovine pericardial valve uses the latest exclusive Carpentier-Edwards Thermafix calcification technology to minimize the two potential causes of calcification (phospholipids and residual glutaraldehyde), effectively preventing valve decay and improving Long-term durability of the valve.
It is also known that the Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT mitral valve was approved by the FDA in 2000 and the product has the CE mark in the European Union.
