Perceval valve-in-valve implant for full root xenograft failure

J Card Surg. 2017 Sep;32(9):567-570. doi: 10.1111/jocs.13199. Epub 2017 Aug 17.

Abstract

Aortic root replacement with a biological conduit results in excellent hemodynamics but has limited durability. We report a series of six patients who underwent successful Perceval-S surgical aortic valve implantation following surgical deterioration of a biological valve composite conduit and discuss the technical details and the importance of appropriate valve sizing for this procedure.
