What are the long-term survival and complication rates of the Carpentier-Edwards pericardial bioprosthesis in patients undergoing isolated aortic valve replacement?
The Carpentier-Edwards pericardial bioprosthesis in the aortic position demonstrates low rates of valve-related complications and no structural deterioration up to 9 years.
Perier et al. (1991) conducted an observational in aortic valve disease requiring replacement (n=124). Carpentier-Edwards pericardial bioprosthesis was evaluated on actuarial survival rate at 9 years. The Carpentier-Edwards pericardial prosthesis in the aortic position demonstrated a 9-year actuarial survival rate of 64% and no structural deterioration.
