The Regent ®aortic valve represents a quantum leap forward in prosthetic valves. The supra-annular Regent valve delivers exceptional hemodynamics and performance while maintaining the same quality design features that set the standard for low complication rates, structuralintegrity, and durability in a mechanical valve.
Exceptional Hemodynamics
- Single-digit gradients, even in valve sizes as small as 19 mm2
- Up to 84% orifice-to-annulus ratio
- 85° leaflet opening angle offers improved laminar flow and reduces turbulance1c,6,9
- Significantly larger EOAs2
- Renders root enlargement practically unnecessary7,10
- Significant reduction in left ventricular (LV) mass2,7,8
Optimal Implantability
- Supra-annular placement
- Low-implant height
- Controlled torque rotation mechanism that allows for easy rotation and intraoperative adjustment
- Sewing cuff contains additional suture markers for more accurate placement
Cuff options
Outstanding Durability
- A gold standard pivot-guard design proven in over 1.8 million implants
Visibility
- St. Jude Medical heart valves are MR conditional1,1b
- Radiopaque for improved visualization during X-ray and cinefluoroscopy
