Duran AnCore® Flexible Annuloplasty System
An enhanced system for use in mitral and tricuspid repair
For more than thirty years, the Duran AnCore® Flexible Annuloplasty System has proven successful at meeting the needs of patients and cardiac surgeons by helping to maintain natural ventricular function during the cardiac cycle, resulting in optimal hemodynamics.1 Enhanced features include a chordal guide that facilitates replacement of the mitral valve chordae tendineae, a lower profile system that is slimmer and easier to implant, an easy-to-release holder and flange that minimize strain on heart tissue, a streamlined handle for improved visibility, and a flat sizer design to improve measurement accuracy.

PRODUCT FEATURES
- Chordal Guide Feature—facilitates replacement of the mitral valve chordae tendineae
- Lower Profile System—slimmer and easier to implant
- Easy-Release Holder & Flange—minimizes strain on heart tissue
- Streamlined Handle—improves visibility
- Flat Sizer Design—improves measurement accuracy
Indications: This device is indicated for the reconstruction and/or remodeling of pathological mitral and tricuspid valves. Appropriate repair and annular remodeling may correct combined valvular insufficiency and stenosis. Note: The Chordal Guide feature of the Duran AnCore® Ring/Band with Chordal Guide is indicated only for chordal replacement surgery of pathological mitral valves.
Contraindications: Heavily calcified valves, valvular retraction with severely reduced mobility, active bacterial endocarditis
Warnings/Precautions/Adverse Events: Only physicians who have received proper training in valve repair should use this device. Adverse events can include: thromboembolic events, dehiscence, hemolysis, stenosis, residual incompetence, heart block, endocarditis, systolic anterior motion, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, anticoagulant-related bleeding or hemorrhage. For additional information please refer to the Instructions for Use provided with the product or contact your local Medtronic representative.
Caution: Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
