Durability and clinical experience using a bovine pericardial prosthetic aortic valve.
To report the implant experience and long-term outcomes from a large tertiary care referral center on surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) with a contemporary stented pericardial bioprosthesis with anticalcification treatment. ⋯ Outcomes from this large single-center cohort at increased surgical risk demonstrate excellent long-term durability of the Trifecta valve for SAVR and feasibility of treating SVD by V-in-V TAVI.
