CardioGRAFT® allografts are the ideal solution for optimal cardiac repair and reconstruction.
Donated human-tissue grafts most closely resemble native tissue and are more resistant to infection than synthetics.1-3 Thanks to LifeNet Health's advanced processing techniques, these grafts consistently perform as they should, alleviating the need for anticoagulation therapy4 and reducing thrombotic potential.3
Aortic & Pulmonary
Valve Replacement
Allograft aortic valves are effective for replacing infected native and prosthetic valves, as allograft tissue is naturally resistant to infection. Allograft pulmonary valves are ideal for adult congenital RVOT reconstruction and pediatric valve replacement. Both valve types allow patients to live actively without the burden of lifelong anticoagulation therapies.
Conduit Repair &
Reconstruction
Allograft conduits are proven solutions for cardiac repair and reconstruction. They are also effective against graft infections as allografts are naturally resistant to infections.
Congenital
Defect Repair
Allograft patch grafts are utilized in repair of the right ventricular outflow tract and congenital outflow tract anomalies. Patch grafts are available both cryopreserved and decellularized utilizing our patented Matracell technology.
