Objectives: Biological valves are the most commonly used prostheses for aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgery in the UK. The aim of this retrospective observational study was to compare 10-year outcomes of Perimount Magna and Mitroflow bioprosthesis implanted in a single center.
Methods: The medical records of patients undergoing AVR in Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital between 1999 and 2014 were examined. All data were collected retrospectively, and a propensity match analysis was performed with a ratio 3:1 to analyze 10-year outcomes. The primary outcomes were all-cause mortality rates and aortic valve reintervention rates.
Results: A total of 2608 patients were included; Mitroflow bioprosthesis was used in 352 patients while Perimount Magna was used in 2256 patients. Median (interquartile range [IQR]) follow-up for the entire data set was 6.95 (4.99, 9.69) years. After 10 years, the all-cause mortality rate was higher in Mitroflow cohort 34.8% vs 14.7% (P < .001). A higher rate of aortic valve reintervention was observed in the Mitroflow cohort (4.7% vs 1%, P < .001).
Conclusions: There were significant differences in survival and reintervention-free survival rate between the two groups considered. The implant of the Perimount Magna valve seems to have a better short-term and long-term outcome over Mitroflow valve. Such results require larger studies to be validated.

Background: Balloon-assisted bioprosthetic or native aortic scallop intentional laceration to prevent iatrogenic coronary artery obstruction (BA-BASILICA) enables valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (ViV-TAVI) in patients at risk of coronary artery obstruction. However, its efficacy in patients with severely calcified leaflets remains unclear.
Case Summary: We report a 78-year-old woman with a deteriorated 21 mm Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT Magna valve.

Aortic valve replacement (AVR) in a patient with a bio-Bentall conduit can be very challenging, especially if there was a previous endocarditis process for significant morbidity and mortality. We report a case of sutureless AVR in an old patient with a bio-Bentall conduit (Carpentier-Edwards Perimount Magna Ease 25 aortic valve and Hemashield 30 aortic conduit), who developed an endocarditis on aortic prosthesis valve. We believe that sutureless AVR is the best option for redo-operation in older patients with a high surgical risk because it allows for easy rapid deployment implantation, avoids anchoring sutures on a fragile aortic anulus, and reduces cardiopulmonary and aortic cross-clamp times.

Background: Upper ministernotomy for sutureless aortic prosthesis implantation provides an attractive opportunity compared to conventional access. Although in the last decade, the former has gained popularity, data comparing quality of life (QoL) following these procedures are scarce.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the patient's QoL after aortic valve replacement (AVR) using a ministernotomy approach compared to a full sternotomy.

Background: In the era of percutaneous aortic valve implantation, biological valves are the preferred prostheses implanted in patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (sAVR). The aim was to present a real-life analysis of mid-term sAVR outcomes for the four aortic bioprostheses: the Hancock II, the Carpentier-Edwards Perimount Magna, the Carpentier-Edwards Perimount Magna Ease and the Trifecta valve.
Methods: This is a retrospective study based on data from the Polish National Cardiac Surgery Database.
