Article Abstract
Background And Aim Of The Study: Interest in sutureless aortic bioprostheses is growing because of the potential advantages that such devices can bring in facilitating minimally invasive approaches. Video assistance can potentially enhance details of decalcification and sutureless valve sizing. We review the feasibility of sutureless aortic valve replacement (AVR) via a minimally invasive video-assisted (MIVA) right anterior minithoracotomy.
Methods: Between November 2012 and November 2013, 21 patients were selected to undergo an AVR using the Enable sutureless device (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) via a video-assisted right second space minithoracotomy.
Results: Procedural success of the MIVA approach was 95.3% (one conversion to median sternotomy due to severe pleural adhesions). Average aortic clamp time was 72.1 ± 22.1 min. No paravalvular leakage was detected at discharge. Thirty-day mortality was 4.7% (one patient, pulmonary embolism).
Conclusions: The described approach appears to be safe and feasible with adequate clamp times. Video assistance allows optimal visualization of the aortic root and accurate valve delivery, without conflict between the device, the camera, and the instruments, making this setting an encouraging baseline towards the assessment of the totally endoscopic approach.

Implantation of a sutureless aortic valve into the ring of a mechanical valve: an extreme solution for extreme cases.

Reoperations due to dysfunction of artificial mechanical aortic valves represent a complex and high-risk surgical procedure, particularly for elderly patients. In this report, we present a case of an 81-year-old female patient where, due to structural degeneration of the mechanical valve, an emergency surgical procedure was indicated. After the removal of the valve leaflets, a sutureless aortic valve was implanted within the mechanical ring.

Background: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of sutureless aortic valve replacement (SUAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Methods: We systematically searched the electronic database and the Clinical Trials Registry up to 31 February 2023. Random effects model risk ratio () and mean differences (MD) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled for the clinical outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Aortic valve replacement (AVR) has seen an increased use of the Perceval sutureless bioprosthesis, which shows promising safety and reliability in both short- and mid-term outcomes, with some long-term data emerging.
- An updated systematic review of studies from 2015 to 2024 analyzed long-term outcomes of 5,221 patients with Perceval implants, revealing a long-term survival rate between 64.8% to 87.9% and low rates of complications such as structural valve degeneration and significant leaks.
- Despite limited data on sutureless bioprostheses, the encouraging results from existing studies suggest that Perceval could provide
Right anterior thoracotomy vs. upper hemisternotomy for aortic valve replacement with Perceval S: is there a difference?

Background: Our study aimed to evaluate the early outcomes of aortic valve replacement with Perceval S sutureless valve through the right anterior thoracotomy and upper hemisternotomy approaches, and to determine if there are any differences between these two approaches.
Methods: We carried out a study using data from 174 patients who underwent minimally invasive Perceval S valve implantation for aortic valve stenosis between January 2018 and August 2023. This was a retrospective, single-center observational study.

Introduction: The Perceval sutureless biological prosthesis for aortic valve replacement has been introduced with the rationale for shortening surgical, extracorporeal circulation and aortic cross-clamping times, in order to reduce postoperative complications.
Aim: To evaluate early hemodynamic performance and immediate outcomes of implantation of the Perceval sutureless bioprosthesis in comparison with the St. Jude Trifecta sutured bioprosthesis for aortic valve replacement (Perfecta study).
