Randomized, prospective assessment of bioprosthetic valve durability. Hancock versus Carpentier-Edwards valves.
Circulation. 1993; (5 Pt 2): II55-64
Although the major limitation of porcine valves is their finite durability, no controlled clinical data exist regarding the relative durability of the two porcine bioprostheses implanted most commonly today, the Carpentier-Edwards (C-E) and Medtronic Hancock I (H) valves.
