Abstract

The objective of this study is to evaluate results of the initial experience with sutureless Perceval S for active prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE). From October 2012 to April 2014, f: ve patients underwent surgery for aortic PVE with Perceval S bioprosthesis. There was one in-hospital death (20%). Echocardiography performed at discharge showed excellent hemodynamic performance of Perceval S bioprosthesis. Aortic valve replacement with Perceval S sutureless valve in patients with PVE is a feasible and safe procedure, associated with low in-hospital mortality and good hemodynamic performance of the prosthesis.
