Reduced risks of thromboembolic and bleeding events are significant advantages that bioprosthetic heart valves have over mechanical heart valves. However, a serious complication that may occur with bioprosthetic valves is tissue calcification. St. Jude Medical now offers an option to combat tissue valve complications: the SJM Epic valve. This is the first tissue valve to combine a proven valve design that has more than 15 years of clinical history with anticalcification protection.

As the world leader in the heart valve industry, St. Jude Medical addresses the needs surgeons and their patients have to minimize the risk of tissue valve complications. The SJM Epic valve is an innovative stented porcine tissue valve that offers the combined benefits of a proven valve design and anticalcification technology.

With more than 15 years of clinical experience, the valve design has withstood the test of time and proven to be a highly valued bioprosthesis by surgeons. The SJM Epic valve is available in a range of sizes and in aortic and mitral models.
