Abstract:
OBJECTIVES The present study evaluates complete supra-annular bioprostheses in patients with an aortic annulus of 18 to 23 mm in diameter. BACKGROUND Aortic valve replacement in patients with small aortic annulus using stented bioprostheses is often associated with unsatisfactory hemodynamic results and high incidence of patient-prosthesis mismatch. METHODS Between February 2000 and January 2004, 156 patients with aortic valve disease and an aortic annulus of 18 to 23 mm in diameter received the...     »
