PeriMount Mitral Valve

[Christian]

Does anyone here have any experience with this?

From this one article, it looks promising, at least as far as bioprosthetic mitral valves go.

Christian - Welcome to this heart site. I enjoyed the article and had the valve repair just like described. I had my Mitral valve repaired in Cleveland by Cosgrove in Jan 2001. I don't have any information about the valve in question, but just wanted to say hi and encourage your questions.

I actually posted the wrong link.

You have a Cosgrove valve repair? I'm sure I'll have a bazillion questions for you when the time is right. :D
