choices of biological valves

Hi Christian-

I found your old post with the PDF file from Cleveland Clinic. It's an excellent article, so I'll repost it here, if you don't mind, and also put it into the Reference Forum.

You must have an Adobe Reader to be able to access it. But it's a free download. It might take a little while for it to load, and it's not something that can be copied and pasted, unfortunately.

Here's Google's text version that doesn't need Adobe:

No problem, Nancy. Feel free to repost anything of mine that might be helpful.

Here's another CCF article on the subject of Valve Selection:

And here's a CCF blurb about the Carpentier Edwards Perimount Valve:
