New Data Emphasizing LivaNova Perceval Valve Durability to be Presented at the American Association for Thoracic Surgery Meeting
Key findings from study at
On
The retrospective, observational, single-center study included 468 consecutive patients implanted with Perceval between 2007 and 2017:
- Patient mean age was 79, mean EuroSCORE II was 5.0 and STS score was 5.8.
- The majority of the cases treated were all-comers, including emergencies.
- 55% of cases were conducted as part of concomitant procedures, while a high rate of the isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) cases was carried out through minimally invasive surgery.
This new clinical data folds into the extensive literary evidence already available surrounding the Perceval technology and its use in hospitals around the world.
“The Perceval sutureless valve offers a stable, time-saving and safe surgical result, both in isolated and in combined procedures,” said Prof. Meuris based on the results from his 11-year experience with Perceval. “We observed promising long-term durability given the current low incidence of SVD after 11 years of continued clinical use.”
“It is critical for a distinctive technology such as Perceval to have strong, real life data to back up its success,” said
The presentation by Prof. Meuris, “Sutureless AVR Experience in a Single Centre: 11 Years of Use in 468 Patients,” will take place on
