Key result
Aortic valve replacement with the Ionescu-Shiley pericardial valve resulted in an expected 100-month survival rate of 82.8% and a 94.4% freedom from thromboembolic episodes.

What are the long-term clinical outcomes and survival rates of patients undergoing aortic valve replacement with the Ionescu-Shiley pericardial valve?
The Ionescu-Shiley pericardial valve demonstrated satisfactory long-term performance in the aortic position, with higher complication rates observed in patients undergoing concomitant cardiac surgery.
Carlos E. Durán (1986) conducted a cohort in Aortic valve disease requiring replacement (n=239). Ionescu-Shiley pericardial valve was evaluated on 100 months survival rate. Aortic valve replacement with the Ionescu-Shiley pericardial valve resulted in an expected 100-month survival rate of 82.8% and a 94.4% freedom from thromboembolic episodes.
