aortic valve replacement
HEART
This retrospective study analyzed follow-up data collected from 903 patients
(834.2 late patient-years) who have undergone surgery for 455 isolated
aortic valve replacement (50.4%), 382 isolated mitral valve replacement
(42.3%), and 66 combined valve replacement or other intervention (7.3%). The
linearized rates of valve-related AEs were < 2 × OPC. One-year
survival rates were 95.1% and 92.7% for aortic and mitral valve replacement,
respectively. This study demonstrated an improvement in the New York Heart
Association classification from baseline and hemodynamic performance within
an expected range.
