Revolutionary PROACT Clinical Trial: Update on the BEST Mechanical Heart Valve
These clinical results are too good not to share! Dr. John D. Puskas, MD, Professor of Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Chairman, Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Mount Sinai Saint Luke's - PROACT study principal investigator - will be presenting on the On-X Aortic Heart Valve PROACT study in a late-breaking session at the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) Centennial Meeting. Join me at the conference in watching this exciting presentation on the very best mechanical aortic heart valve! Read more below...

7 年Thanks, Mike. That's why its good to have strong clinical data from a world class surgeon. This study shows the benefits of the PROACT trial on a mechanical valve that has proven long-term clinical performance results. We are proud to be working with such wonderful sites and talented surgeons to present these additional benefits to using the On-X Aortic Valve!

7 年There have been a number of new posts on both newer bioprosthetic valves, TAVI, and mechanical valves. These valves show improved ease of implant and improved cardiovascular function. It is critically important that these short-term performance improvements are maintained chronically and that the valve has freedom from structural degradation equivalent to current long-term functioning valves with the concomitant lack of complications, eg T&E.
