Early Hemodynamic Performance of the Trifecta Bioprosthetic Valve in Patients With Aortic Valve Disease

Effect of aortic pericardial valve choice on outcomes and left ventricular mass regression in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy

“…Retrospective cohort studies have shown positive hemodynamic performance with the TR when compared with other contemporary bioprostheses. Findings have included lower mean gradients, greater effective orifice area, 15,16 and a lower incidence of severe PPM (1.3% in the TR group vs 3.2% in the Perimount group). 16 To address the confounding issues of patient variability in past retrospective cohort studies, we completed a matched-paired comparative analysis, and demonstrated that the improved hemodynamic performance of the TR was associated with a significant improvement in stroke volume and indexed effective orifice areas.…”

Midterm Durability and Hemodynamic Performance of a Third-Generation Bovine Pericardial Prosthetic Aortic Valve: The Leipzig Experience

“…Published reports regarding this device include results from small cohorts or short-term follow-up, or both [10][11][12][13][14]. In addition, results have been reported from 1,014 patients who had 2 years of follow-up [15].…”

Left ventricular outflow tract shape after aortic valve replacement with St. Jude Trifecta prosthesis

“…Previous studies showed that the differences between catheter pressure measurements and Doppler results are minimized by considering pressure recovery . With respect to aortic prostheses, ELI_STJ is seldom reported in clinical investigations. Our data plotted in Figure may suggest a further decrease in PPM incidence, with greater impact of pressure recovery for greater EOAi, when the increase in ELI_STJ area was greater.…”
