Direct comparison of rapid deployment versus sutureless aortic valve replacement: a meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: AVR using RD valve was associated with better valve hemodynamics in terms of the MPG than AVR using SU valve, and better outcomes were observed in the RD group regarding PPI. Procedural times were longer in AVR using RD valve than SU valve. Early clinical outcomes showed no difference between RD and SU valve.PMID:34012571 | PMC:PMC8107528 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-20-3548
