Case Series of Early Structural Valve Deterioration of Trifecta Bioprosthesis - New Zealand Experience

CONCLUSION: The Trifecta valve has an acceptable safety profile and offers good hemodynamics due to the externally mounted leaflets. However, our experience of early SVD and failure is concerning for valve durability. Further comparison to other bioprosthetic valves and longer term follow-up are required to characterize the mechanism of failures.PMID:36935120 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.oa.23-00007
