Hancock® Bioprosthetic Valved Conduits
MEDTRONIC, INC.

710 Medtronic Parkway |

Hancock bioprosthetic valved conduits consist of a standard unstented porcine aortic or Modified Orifice (M.O.) aortic valve, sutured into the center of a woven fabric conduit. The Hancock conduits are recommended for reconstruction of congenital or acquired cardiac and great vessel malformations or pathology. These valved conduits are not intended for aortic root replacement. Because the Hancock valved conduit does not incorporate a stent, the ratio of conduit outer diameter to inner diameter of the bioprosthesis is optimized.
Indications: Reconstructive procedures for the repair of congenital or acquired cardiac and great vessel malformations or pathology
Contraindications: Patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis have an increased tendency towards calcification of tissue valved conduits.
Warnings/Precautions/Adverse Events: Preclot valved conduits to minimize hemorrhage through the conduit. Reported complications include: valvular thrombosis, thromboembolism, calcification and fibrosis, valvular insufficiency, perivalvular insufficiency, valvular stenosis, leaflet perforation, significant transvalvular pressure gradients in small size bioprostheses, valve contamination, development of intraluminal peel, and hemorrhage through the graft and anastomotic sites.
For additional information, please refer to the Instructions For Use provided with the product.
CAUTION: Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
