Two of the most widely used mechanical heart valves are the standard St. Jude Medical® Mechanical Heart Valve (SJM; St. Jude Medical Inc.; Minneapolis, Minn) and the CarboMedics Standard Aortic Valve (CM; CarboMedics, Inc.; Austin, Tex) bileaflet valve prostheses.
Background: The St Jude Medical Epic heart valve (St Jude Medical, Inc, St Paul, Minn) is a tricomposite glutaraldehyde-preserved porcine bioprosthesis.
The St. Jude Medical cardiac valve is a low-profile, bileaflet, central-flow prosthesis made entirely of pyrolytic carbon. A total of 261 St. Jude valves were implanted in 253 patients during a 25-month period.
Artificial heart valves are often known as mechanical heart valves and made from metallic alloys or plastic materials. In bioprosthetic heart valves, the valve tissue is typically from an animal species and mounted on a frame, known as a bioprosthesis.
The On-X Aortic Valve, as a mechanical heart valve, has a much lower risk of reoperation than tissue (bioprosthetic) valves, with the additional benefit of less bleeding risk than other mechanical aortic valves because of the significantly lower amount of blood thinner required.
A mechanical prosthesis is recommended for aortic valve replacement (AVR) in patients with a mechanical valve in the mitral or tricuspid position (class I). A bioprosthesis is recommended for AVR in patients of any age who will not take warfarin or who have major medical contraindications to warfarin therapy (class I).
The most common mechanical valve is the bileaflet valve introduced in 1977 [15]. Mechanical valve prostheses are usually recommended for patients aged under 60 years, because these prostheses are durable with the potential to last over 20 years and often do not require replacement surgeries [16–18].
Bioprosthetic valves are generally made of either bovine pericardium or porcine aortic valves, but may also be produced from equine or porcine pericardium. The advantage of these bioprosthetic valves is that they do not require life-long anticoagulation.
semilunar valvesThe normal human heart contains 4 valves that regulate blood flow into and out of the heart. The aortic and pulmonic valves are known as the semilunar valves, whereas the tricuspid and mitral valves are referred to as the atrioventricular valves.
Dabigatran is contraindicated — Dabigatran is contraindicated in patients with mechanical heart valves.
Tissue Valve Tissue valves are created from animal donors' valves or animal tissue that's strong and flexible. Tissue valves can last 10 to 20 years, and usually don't require the long-term use of medication.
If your heart was already working poorly before your valve was replaced, you may still have heart problems. Mechanical valves don't usually wear out. They usually last 20 years or more. Other problems might happen with the valve, such as an infection.

Mechanical valve replacement To replace a heart valve, your doctor removes the heart valve and replaces it with a mechanical valve or a valve made from cow, pig or human heart tissue (biological tissue valve). Biological valves often eventually need to be replaced, as they break down over time.
Median survival time was 10.9 years (95% confidence interval: 10.6-11.2 years) in low-risk, 7.3 years (7.0-7.9 years) in intermediate-risk, and 5.8 years (5.4-6.5 years) in high-risk patients.
Physicians use ICD-10 CM codes for diagnoses and CPT codes for procedures, regardless of whether the setting is inpatient or outpatient. The ICD-10 CM diagnosis codes are used for claims adjudication. However, for determining Medicare payment, only the CPT procedure codes are used. For Medicare, physician reimbursement is under the RBRVS system. Each CPT code is assigned a unique relative value unit, which is then converted into the payment amount. Medicare has used RBRVS for physician reimbursement since 1992.
Hospitals assign ICD-10 codes for both diagnoses and procedures for inpatient admissions. For Medicare, inpatient hospital reimbursement is under the Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Groups (MS-DRG) system. For each admission, the ICD-10 diagnosis and procedure codes are grouped into one of over 750 MS-DRGs. Regardless of the number of codes, only one MS-DRG is assigned to the admission. Each MS-DRG has a unique relative weight, which is then converted into the payment amount. Medicare has used the DRG system for hospital inpatient reimbursement since 1983.
C codes do not apply to inpatient surgical procedures such as CABG or valve replacement procedures. C codes are used in conjunction with the Medicare prospective payment system for outpatient procedures (APCs).
The procedure code 02RG3JZ is in the medical and surgical section and is part of the heart and great vessels body system, classified under the replacement operation. The applicable bodypart is mitral valve.
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates. These 2022 ICD-10-PCS codes are to be used for discharges occurring from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
Each ICD-10-PCS code has a structure of seven alphanumeric characters and contains no decimals . The first character defines the major "section". Depending on the "section" the second through seventh characters mean different things.
This is one of the early versions of the St. Jude Medical (SJM) artificial heart valve, a bi-leaflet valve made of pyrolytic carbon. There are four pivot points, and the edges of the donut are not as rounded as later models. A white Dacron sewing ring surrounds the valve.
The SJM valve quickly became the 'gold standard' for subsequent valves. St. Jude Medical was founded by Manuel "Manny" Villafaña in 1976, in St. Paul, Minnesota, U.S.A. The model for its popular bi-leaflet valve was developed at the University of Minnesota in 1972 by Dr. Demetre Nicoloff (1934-2003). It differed from previous valves ...
The first surgical implant with a SJM heart valve was carried out in October 1977. The SJM valve was the first all carbon valve in clinical use. All St. Jude valves would be made with pyrolytic carbon, a material and coating recognized for its biocompatibility and thromboresistance.
