Freestyle™

Aortic Root Bioprosthesis

OVERVIEW

The Freestyle™ bioprosthesis is our most physiologic valve. Every aspect is meant to closely emulate the native aortic valve and offer comparable benefits. It is a great choice for younger, more active patients – and those with challenging anatomies – because of its excellent hemodynamics, durability, and patient outcomes.

INDICATIONS

The Freestyle bioprosthesis is for the replacement of malfunctioning native or prosthetic aortic valves with the option of aortic root replacement.

PRODUCT DETAILS

Natural Performance

Maximal blood flow, excellent durability and outcomes, from a valve designed to mimic nature.

The full root, stentless design of the Freestyle porcine bioprosthesis — based on more than 30 years of Medtronic tissue valve design improvements — can be used for full root, modified subcoronary, and complete subcoronary configurations.

Natural Performance

DURABILITY

Durability

Published clinical experience demonstrates impressive long-term performance in all age groups. Additional factors that may contribute to durability are:

  • Proprietary AOA™ anti-calcification tissue treatment that mitigates calcification and protects the tissue*
  • Physiologic Fixation process that minimizes the stress applied to the leaflets during fixation*

Excellent Clinical Performance

Excellent Clinical Performance

STENTLESS DESIGN

By closely mimicking human physiology, the Freestyle valve offers excellent hemodynamics — just like nature, with laminar flow and low gradients.

MAXIMUM BLOOD FLOW

Max blood flow

The Freestyle valve is hemodynamically superior to stented3 and mechanical4 valves in the aortic position because it’s stentless and has no sewing ring. This means you get:

  • Larger postoperative effective orifice areas (EOA)3
  • Stable, single-digit gradients and EOAs at 10 years2

ADVANCED TISSUE FIXATION

Advanced Tissue Fixation

Our exclusive Physiologic Fixation* process mitigates biomechanical failures and promotes long-term valve durability by:

  • Improved preservation of valve structure and leaflet function, allowing it to function similar to a native valve
  • Allowing leaflets to remain soft and flexible which protects the tissue from cyclic fatigue
