Stentless valves' hemodynamic advantages remain underutilized; leaves open whether randomized trials would shift current practice.
Do stentless glutaraldehyde-preserved bioprosthetic valves improve haemodynamic characteristics and clinical outcomes compared to stented porcine bioprostheses in the aortic position?
Despite demonstrating superior haemodynamic profiles and more complete regression of left ventricular hypertrophy, stentless aortic valves have not been widely adopted in clinical practice.
Xiu-Feng Jin (2002) studied this question.
