Key result
Consistent cusp fluttering was observed in 100% of patients receiving the Perceval bioprosthesis, which correlated with elevated LDH levels and higher pressure gradients.

May warrant LDH monitoring in Perceval recipients; leaves open effects on durability and need for surveillance.
Observational (n=108)
The Perceval sutureless aortic bioprosthesis consistently exhibits cusp fluttering, which is associated with elevated LDH levels and higher pressure gradients.
Aljalloud et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Aortic valve replacement (n=108). Perceval bioprosthesis was evaluated on Cusp-fluttering phenomenon on intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography. Consistent cusp fluttering was observed in 100% of patients receiving the Perceval bioprosthesis, which correlated with elevated LDH levels and higher pressure gradients.
