MECHANICAL HEART VALVES CLINICAL DATA

Unique design features have established Abbott mechanical heart valves—including the Regent™ and Masters Series—as a gold standard for reliability and performance, while maintaining low complication rates over the long term.

DEMONSTRATED SAFETY OVER NOTABLY LONG-TERM STUDIES

Abbott mechanical heart valves deliver exceptional hemodynamics and performance while maintaining low complication rates over the long term. The Abbott mechanical heart valves have demonstrated low mortality rate and a low incidence of valve-related events over a period of at least 30 years.1,2
