Intermediate-term outcome of 500 consecutive rapid-deployment surgical aortic valve procedures
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Mar 07, 2019
Andreas M, et al. - Researchers presented a single-center experience of aortic valve replacement with a novel bioprosthesis, the Edwards INTUITY Valve System, a balloon-expandable bioprosthesis inspired by the Edwards Magna valve and transcatheter technology, with a subvalvular stent frame to allow quick deployment. They analyzed 500 consecutive (45.6% female; mean age 73.5 with a standard deviation 7.9 years) with severe aortic stenosis who received a rapid deployment aortic valve between May 2010 and July 2017. Outcomes revealed excellent results regarding hemodynamic performance, durability, and safety with this rapid deployment aortic valve. Specific training is needed for implantation, and the requirement for pacemaker implantation in 8.6% of these patients is a matter of concern. This valve is helpful for minimally invasive approaches and can benefit complex combined procedures.
