Key result
Trifecta pericardial valve exhibits acute structural failure from a leaflet tear 34 months after implantation.
Why the study?
Early structural failure of bovine pericardial aortic bioprosthetic valves due to mechanical stress is a recognized complication requiring further characterization.

Early Trifecta valve failure at 34 months warrants clinical surveillance; hypothesis-generating for bioprosthesis durability.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the risk of early structural failure (leaflet tear) in the Trifecta pericardial valve due to mechanical stress.
Piñón et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Bioprosthetic aortic valve failure (n=1). Trifecta pericardial valve was evaluated on Acute structural failure (leaflet tear). A Trifecta pericardial valve experienced an acute structural failure (leaflet tear) 34 months after implantation in a 71-year-old woman.
