Implication

Supports pericardial bioprosthesis durability in AVR; leaves open need for longer-term randomized comparisons.

Structured PICO

Population
420 patients undergoing isolated aortic valve replacement, mean age 66.9, 71.5% male, 48% in NYHA clinical stage III or IV.

Outcome
Actuarial survival rate and freedom from valve-related complications (thromboembolic complication, endocarditis, reoperation, and valve failure) at 8 yearshard clinical

The Carpentier-Edwards pericardial bioprosthesis for isolated aortic valve replacement demonstrated excellent intermediate results with low rates of structural valve failure at 8 years.
