Abstract:
A meta-analysis of the available literature on the CarboMedics and St. Jude Medical valves was conducted to compare their clinical performance. Frequency of valve-related complications for aortic, mitral, and double-valve replacements served as a measure of performance. An economic model was created to estimate the economic impact of valve-related complications. Overall, fewer events occurred with the St. Jude Medical valve than with the CarboMedics valve. As a result, use of the St. Jude Medical valve is expected to save up to $13,201 over 10 years.
