EARLY EXPERIENCES WITH PERCEVAL PLUS SUTURELESS AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT AT BACH MAI HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To report the initial experience with Perceval Plus sutureless aortic valve replacement.Methods: A descriptive study was conducted on 4 patients who underwent sutureless aortic valve replacement with Perceval Plus at Bach Mai Hospital. Surgical indications in patients with aortic stenosis or combined aortic stenosis and regurgitation. All patients were approached via median sternotomy, the diseased valve was excised, annular calcification was removed, the annulus was sized, and the prosthesis was implanted following the standardised protocol. Results: The mean aortic cross-clamp and cardiopulmonary bypass times were 60.5 ± 19.2 and 83.8 ± 17.8 minutes, respectively. There were no postoperative deaths, no paravalvular leak, and no patients required permanent pacemaker implantation. At the time of discharge, transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a marked improvement in effective orifice area (EOA) with low transvalvular pressure gradients. Conclusion: Sutureless aortic valve replacement with good initial outcomes showed that this is a feasible and safe surgical option.
