The Hancock Modified Orifice porcine bioprosthetic valve demonstrated a 2% operative mortality in isolated aortic valve replacements, with long-term follow-up data provided up to 14 years.
Cohn et al. (1991) conducted a cohort in Aortic valve disease requiring replacement (n=305). Hancock Modified Orifice porcine bioprosthetic valve was evaluated on Operative mortality. Isolated aortic valve replacement with the Hancock Modified Orifice porcine bioprosthetic valve was associated with a 2% operative mortality rate over a mean follow-up of 7.4 years.
