Article Synopsis
- The Trifecta valve was withdrawn from the market due to concerns about early structural valve deterioration, particularly aortic regurgitation, which occurred in patients within five years of implantation.
- A study involving 171 patients undergoing redo aortic valve replacement found that those with Trifecta valves experienced earlier onset and more severe aortic regurgitation compared to those with other valve types.
- The research indicated that mortality rates were significantly higher in patients with Trifecta valves, suggesting that their use could affect outcomes in studies comparing surgical and transcatheter valve replacements.
Introduction: Lassa fever (LF) is endemic in Liberia and is immediately reportable. Suspected cases are confirmed at the National Public Health Reference Laboratory. However, there is limited information on the trend and factors associated with mortality.

Methods: A total of 60 surgeons from 11 countries were invited to develop consensus statements based on their expertise in this area. They were assigned to one of seven working groups defined by subtopics of interest within patellar instability.
