Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0059379A1] Stentless bioprosthetic heart valves (10) are formed as root valves utilizing a portion of the anterior mitral leaflet (16-1, 16-2, 16-3) attached to each of multiple (preferably three) noncoronary leaflet sections (10-1, 10-2, 10-3). In this manner, the bioprosthetic heart valves (10) may be provided with inflow (16) and/or outflow (14) conduits which allow replacement of the entirety of a patient's diseased native aortic valve or the pulmonary valve and its outflow tract.
