Abbott Epic™ Plus Stented Tissue Valves
The Abbott Epic™ Plus Stented Tissue Valves are advanced bioprosthetic heart valve systems designed for surgical mitral and aortic valve replacement procedures. Developed as the next generation of the trusted Epic™ valve platform, the Epic™ Plus series combines proven long-term durability with enhanced implantability and improved fluoroscopic visibility to support future valve-in-valve interventions. The valves feature a triple composite porcine leaflet design, low-profile stent post architecture, and an easy-to-expand radiopaque band that improves positioning and visualization during cardiac procedures. Engineered to minimize left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and coronary obstruction risks, the Epic™ Plus valves provide optimized hemodynamic performance across diverse patient populations. Clinical studies demonstrated outstanding long-term durability, including high freedom from structural valve deterioration (SVD) and valve reintervention rates at 10 years in both mitral and aortic positions. Available in mitral, aortic, and supra-annular configurations with multiple sizing options, the Epic™ Plus platform delivers reliable surgical performance, excellent biocompatibility, and enhanced procedural flexibility for modern cardiac valve replacement therapies.
