Figure 5 The JenaValve
Figure 5 | The JenaValve. a | The JenaValve (JenaValve, Germany) is a trileaflet, porcine root tissue valve attached to a nitinol stent. b–d | Schematic representation of implantation of the JenaValve. e–h | Fluoroscopy of JenaValve implantation. Release of the positioning feelers and placement into the aortic sinuses enables anatomical orientation (panels b and f). After correct orientation has been verified in two different fluoroscopic angulations, release of the lower stent part facilitates the clipping of the native aortic valve leaflets to the device and expansion of the stent, allowing for secure anchoring even in the absence of valve calcium (panels c and g). Release of the upper stent part completes deployment of the valve prosthesis (panels d and h). Reprinted from Seiffert, M. et al.
