Comparison of Surgical Treatment Outcomes in Patients with Symptomatic Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis Using the Perceval Sutureless Bioprosthesis Versus a Conventional Biological Valve.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: This single-center retrospective comparative cohort study aimed to compare the outcomes of aortic valve replacement using a Perceval sutureless bioprosthesis versus a conventional stented bioprosthesis in patients with symptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis. Methods: A total of 233 consecutive elective patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) at the University Clinical Center of Serbia (July 2017-March 2021) were analyzed: 74 received a Perceval sutureless valve, and 159 received a conventional stented valve. Results: The baseline characteristics were similar between the groups, with most patients being male (54.1% vs. 56.6%), with a mean age of 72.6 years. Combined aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting were performed in 19.3% of the patients.
