Article Synopsis
- * The Perceval sutureless prosthesis is proposed as a viable alternative for replacing malfunctioning stentless valves.
- * The report details three successful cases of using the Perceval prosthesis to replace degenerated Sorin Pericarbon Freedom valves, highlighting the procedure's safety and reproducibility.
Objective: Stentless aortic valves have shown superior hemodynamic performance and faster left ventricular mass regression compared to stented bioprostheses. Yet, controversies exist concerning the durability of stentless valves. This case-matched study compared short- and long-term clinical outcomes of stentless LivaNova-Sorin Pericarbon Freedom™ (SPF) and stented Carpentier-Edwards Perimount (CEP) aortic prostheses.
