Are there differences in long-term mortality and valve-related morbidity between the Starr-Edwards 2400 and 1260 aortic valve prostheses in patients undergoing isolated aortic valve replacement?
Both the Starr-Edwards 2400 and 1260 aortic valve prostheses demonstrate excellent 10-year durability with low mortality and no mechanical failures.
Hackett et al. (1987) conducted a cohort in Isolated aortic valve replacement (n=327). Starr-Edwards 2400 series aortic prosthesis vs. Starr-Edwards 1260 series aortic prosthesis was evaluated on Mortality and valve related morbidity. Starr-Edwards 2400 and 1260 aortic valve prostheses demonstrated excellent durability with 0 cases of mechanical failure and no significant differences in mortality or morbidity over 10 years.
