Aortic Valve Replacement with Rapid-Deployment Bioprostheses: Long-Term Single-Center Results After 1000 Consecutive Implantations.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: This study aimed to analyze long-term survival and valve-related adverse events after 1000 consecutive rapid-deployment surgical aortic valve replacements (RD-SAVRs) in a single center. Methods: A total of 1000 patients following RD-SAVR at our institution were included in a prospective database. Median follow-up was 68 months (IQR: 37-91). Preoperative and operative parameters, survival and valve-related adverse events were assessed. Results: Mean age was 73 ± 7 years (45% female). Median EuroSCORE II was 2.7% (IQR: 1.4-5.5). Concomitant procedures were performed in 50% of patients. In the case of isolated SAVR, minimally invasive access was conducted in 415 patients (83%). New early pacemaker implantation was required in 9.1%. Perioperative stroke was o
