Perceval Sutureless Valve - are Sutureless Valves Here?
2014
With the advent of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) techniques, a renewed interest has developed
in sutureless aortic valve concepts in the last decade. The main feature of sutureless aortic valve implantation is the speed
of insertion, thus making implantation easier for the surgeon. As a result, cross clamp times and myocardial ischemia may
be reduced. The combined procedures (CABG with AVR in particular) can be done with a short cross clamp time. Perceval
valve also provides an increased effective orifice area as compared with a stented bioprosthesis. Sutureless implantation
of the Perceval valve is not only associated with shorter cross-clamp and cardiopulmonary bypass times but improved
clinical outcomes too. This review covers the sutureless aortic valves and their evolution, with elaborate details on
Perceval S valve in particular (which is the most widely used sutureless valve around the globe).
