Functional description

Perceval S is a bioprosthetic valve designed to replace a diseased native or a malfunctioning prosthetic aortic valve via open heart surgery, with the unique characteristic of allowing sutureless positioning and anchoring at the implant site. Perceval S prosthesis consists of a tissue component made from bovine pericardium and a self-expandable Nitinol stent, which has the dual role of supporting the valve and fixing it in place.
