Leading Cardiovascular Surgeons Gather from Around the World to Share Ross Procedure Survival Data, Techniques at 2nd Ann...(press management's beliefs expectations ...)

Date:9/21/2009

press management's beliefs, expectations or hopes are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include those regarding the expected increases in the number of Ross Procedures, the expected impact of Ross Procedure advantages and evidence of long-term survival, CryoLife's belief that evidence of long-term survival is expected to grow, and growing evidence to support improved long-term survival rates for patients undergoing Ross Procedures as compared to other valve replacement options. These future events may not occur as and when expected, if at all, and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including that additional studies may not provide the support for the advantages and long-term survival rates expected, and competitive advances, regulatory challenges, increased costs, unexpected side effects or other factors outside CryoLife's control could result in physicians' or patients' decisions not to choose the Ross Procedure. Additional risks and uncertainties impacting CryoLife's business are detailed in CryoLife's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including CryoLife's Form 10-K filing for the year ended December 31, 2008, our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, and the Company's other SEC filings. The Company does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.
