Hemodynamic assessment of Perceval sutureless bioprosthesis by dobutamine stress echocardiography

ConclusionsThe Perceval sutureless bioprosthesis demonstrated good hemodynamics at rest and under high workload. The significant increase in EOAi during DSE suggests the potential advantages of Perceval sutureless bioprostheses in case of small aortic annulus or when patient‐prosthesis mismatch is anticipated.
