Between February 1992 and January 1994 we implanted the Bravo 400 porcine valve in 40 patients (23: male, 17 female; mean age 69 +/- 7 years) at the Centro Cardiologico, I. Monzino Foundation, University of Milan. The valvular pathology was aortic stenosis in 21 patients (52.5%), in aortic regurgitation in eight patients (20%), aortic stenosis and regurgitation in nine patients (22.5%) and annuloaortic...
The design, the fabrication and the characterization of a BMFET (Bipolar Mode FET) with a maximum voltage of 1600 V and maximum current of 5 A (at hFS = 2.5) are reported. With the help of theoretical models, the effects of physical and geometrical parameters on the performance of the device are investigated and the rules to be used in the design are defined. The switching characteristics of the fabricated...
