Overview

Supports pericardial aortic valve reconstruction durability; leaves open randomized confirmation versus bioprostheses.

Structured PICO

Does aortic valve reconstruction with pericardium provide durable long-term outcomes in patients requiring aortic valve surgery?

Population

92 consecutive patients undergoing aortic valve reconstruction, mean age 30 years (range 12-68), 65% male, 84% rheumatic etiology.

Intervention

Aortic valve reconstruction with bovine pericardium (n=27) or glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium (n=65).

Outcome

Long-term behavior including survival, freedom from reoperation, and freedom from structural valve degeneration.hard clinical

Aortic valve reconstruction with pericardium is feasible with good hemodynamics and low mortality, showing 10-year outcomes comparable to stentless bioprostheses.
