Midterm outcomes with a sutureless aortic bioprosthesis in a prospective multicenter cohort study

Theodor Fischlein et al.

Summary: This study reports the midterm clinical outcomes of a self-expandable sutureless aortic valve. The results show that this technology is associated with low mortality and morbidity rates, and good hemodynamic performance.

Long-term durability after surgical aortic valve replacement with the Trifecta and the Intuity valve-a comparative analysis

Paul Werner et al.

Summary: This study compared the incidence of structural valve deterioration (SVD) between patients receiving Trifecta and Intuity valves for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), and found that the SVD incidence was significantly higher with the Trifecta valve.

Durability and clinical experience using a bovine pericardial prosthetic aortic valve

Sven Lehmann et al.

Summary: The study reported the long-term outcomes of SAVR using the Trifecta valve, including procedural outcomes, adverse events, long-term survival, and valve durability. Follow-up data showed excellent durability of the Trifecta valve at 8 years and the feasibility of treating SVD by V-in-V TAVI.

Perceval Sutureless Aortic Valve Implantation: Midterm Outcomes

Delphine Szecel et al.

Summary: This study summarized the clinical follow-up data of aortic valve replacement surgery using Perceval sutureless technology, showing good patient survival rates and valve functionality, without any reoperation due to structural valve degeneration. The research provides reliable evidence for the application of this rapid-deployment valve in surgical procedures.

Durability and Performance of 2298 Trifecta Aortic Valve Prostheses: A Propensity-Matched Analysis

Camille Yongue et al.

Summary: This study compared the hemodynamic performance and explant rates of Trifecta and PERIMOUNT aortic valve prostheses, revealing that Trifecta showed superior early hemodynamic performance but had faster increase in transvalvular gradient, more aortic regurgitation, and lower freedom from explant at 5 years compared to PERIMOUNT.

Sutureless versus conventional bioprostheses for aortic valve replacement in severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis

Theodor Fischlein et al.

Summary: Sutureless aortic valves were noninferior to stented valves in terms of major adverse cerebral and cardiovascular events at 1 year, showing shorter surgical times but higher rate of pacemaker implantation.

Life Expectancy After Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement

Andreas Martinsson et al.

Summary: Surgical risk, age, and perceived life expectancy influence the choice between SAVR and transcatheter aortic valve implantation. This study aimed to determine median survival time in relation to surgical risk and chronological age in SAVR patients. The estimated survival is substantial following SAVR, especially in younger, low-risk patients.

Improved creatinine-based early detection of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery

Ferdinand Vogt et al.

Summary: This study aimed to improve early detection of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) by analyzing data from 7633 patients who underwent cardiac surgery between 2008 and 2018. Models based on creatinine and dynamic laboratory parameters, as well as clinical parameters, showed improved predictive performance for CSA-AKI, with the most effective model achieving an AUC of 0.84.
