Late Outcomes of Porcine and Pericardial Bioprostheses after Mitral Valve Replacement in 1162 Patients

CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate similar rates of 10-year survival and structural deterioration with porcine and pericardial bioprosthetics in mitral valve replacement. This study suggests a lack of major improvement in durability of mitral bioprosthetic valves over time. Failure mode may have greater influence on surgeon decision-making of valve choice.PMID:38631662 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.04.002
