Main Features of Epic valves<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t[vc_column_text css=”” woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]Biological prosthesis:
\nMade of biological tissue, which reduces the need for lifelong use of anticoagulants (blood-thinning drugs) compared to
\nmechanical prostheses.<\/p>\n

Frame-based:
\nIt has a solid frame that supports and stabilizes the biological valve flaps.<\/p>\n

Low profile:<\/strong>
\nProvides an optimal position in the heart, facilitating implantation.<\/p>\n

Good hemodynamic characteristics:
\n Allow blood to flow through the valve with minimal resistance, which improves blood circulation.<\/p>\n

Different models:
\nThere are different models of Epic valves, including Epic and Epic Supra, for the aortic and mitral positions.<\/p>\n

Advantages of biological prostheses (compared to mechanical ones):<\/strong>
\nLower risk of thrombosis, does not require lifelong intake of anticoagulants.
\nMore natural hemodynamic flow of blood.
\nDisadvantages of biological prostheses (compared to mechanical prostheses):
\nShorter service life (usually 10-15 years).
\nThe possibility of degeneration and calcification over time.<\/p>\n

Choosing between mechanical and biological prostheses:
\nThe decision to choose a prosthesis is made by the cardiac surgeon based on the individual characteristics of the patient, their age, lifestyle, and other factors. Biological prostheses are often recommended for older patients, as well as those who cannot take anticoagulants. Overall, Epic valves are a modern solution for surgical replacement of heart valves, providing good functionality and quality of life for patients.
\nAbbott’s portfolio of surgical valves includes the Epic\u2122 platform, which consists of stented tissue valves, including the Epic\u2122 Max and Epic\u2122 Plus valves, as well as the Masters Series and Regent\u2122 mechanical heart valves, which are considered the gold standard and most reliable mechanical heart valves in the world.

The Epic heart valve <\/strong>is a type of biological heart valve prosthesis developed by St. Jude Medical (now Abbott). It is a frame-based bioprosthesis, meaning it has a structure made of biological tissue (most commonly bovine or porcine pericardium) attached to a frame. Epic valves are known for their low profile and good hemodynamic performance, which can improve the quality of life for patients. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":791,"template":"","meta":{"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[143],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1522","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-supplies","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/danaestrella.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/danaestrella.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/danaestrella.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danaestrella.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/danaestrella.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danaestrella.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1522"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danaestrella.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1522"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danaestrella.kz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
