Implication

Supports durability of 19 mm pericardial bioprostheses in small annuli; leaves open randomized comparisons.

Structured PICO

Does the 19 mm Carpentier-Edwards pericardial bioprosthesis provide reliable long-term clinical and structural outcomes in patients with small aortic annuli?

P
Population
90 patients who underwent an isolated aortic valve replacement with a 19 mm Carpentier-Edwards pericardial bioprosthesis, mean age 72.2 +/- 10.1 years, 50% in NYHA clinical status III or IV.
I
Intervention
19 mm Carpentier-Edwards pericardial bioprosthesis for isolated aortic valve replacement
O
Outcome
Actuarial survival rate and freedom from valve-related death at 10 yearshard clinical

The 19 mm Carpentier-Edwards pericardial bioprosthesis demonstrates low rates of structural deterioration and valve-related events at 10 years, making it a reliable option for patients with small aortic annuli.
