The Use of Perceval Valves in Older Patients: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Perceval device is a sutureless, rapid-deployment valve designed to shorten aortic cross-clamp (ACC) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) times, with the aim of improving postoperative outcomes in older, high-risk patients.

Methods

A systematic review was conducted for full articles published between 2020 and 2024, comparing the Perceval valve with conventionally sutured valves, with a focus on preoperative and operative data, as well as postoperative outcomes. Single-arm series were retained for the same purpose. Articles with at least 100 valves were included.

Results

A total of six propensity score-matched series and four randomized controlled trials were identified after removing articles with data from the same patient population. Consequently, age and
