From September 4, 2018, to December 15, 2020, 24 patients with severe aortic valve
stenosis underwent aortic valve replacement surgery, 12 patients in the group C and
12 patients in the group P. Twenty (83.33%) patients were female, mean age was
69.92±5.17 years, and most patients were in New York Heart Association (NYHA)
functional class II (15 [62.50%]). The mean left ventricular ejection fraction was
64.92%±6.75%, and 17 (81%) patients had significant left ventricular
hypertrophy. Preoperative clinical and demographic characteristics were similar in
both groups (Preoperative clinical and demographic characteristics of the conventional and
Perceval™ groups.Regarding intraoperative data, there was a statistically significant difference in
the total surgical time (Intraoperative characteristics of the conventional and Perceval™
groups.The total length of hospital stay was 8.5 (8.0;12.2) days Severe SIRS was observed more frequently in the group C when compared to group P,
however without statistical significance, with three to four criteria in eight
(66.7%) No patient in the sample had major complications such as acute renal failure, shock,
stroke or neurological deficit, major bleeding, or need for definitive pacemaker in
the immediate postoperative period.Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) defined by an effective orifice area (EOA < 0.90
mOn the other hand, paravalvular leak (mild) was present only in the group P, two
