In the Translink study, the choice of BHV type was left to the decision of the cardio-surgical team of each center. Patients were implanted with the most frequently implanted BHVs worldwide: two types of surgical porcine valves: Mosaic or Hancock II (Medtronic); 6 different surgical bovine pericardium valves: Perimount Carpentier–Edwards (Edwards Lifesciences), Magna Ease (Edwards Lifesciences), Trifecta (St Jude Medical), Perceval or SOLO bioprostheses (Sorin Biomedica Cardio) and the Mitroflow PRT valve (Sorin Biomedica Cardio); one surgical equine valve: 3F Valve Enable (Medtronic) and two percutaneous pericardium valves (TAVI): CoreValve (porcine pericardium; Medtronic) and SAPIEN valve (bovine pericardium; Edwards Lifesciences). The operating techniques and surgical valve model selection were left to the operating surgeon’s discretion. The distribution of types of implanted biological prostheses in groups B1/B2 is detailed in Fig. 1b .

Between August 2020 and February 2022, 50 consecutive patients underwent Y-incision aortic annular enlargement and AVR primarily for severe aortic stenosis (n ¼ 44), but also for severe aortic insufficiency (n ¼ 3), prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis (n ¼ 1), coronary artery disease with moderate aortic stenosis (n ¼ 1), and left ventricular pseudoaneurysm with degenerated prosthetic valve and moderate stenosis (n ¼ 1). The prosthetic valve included 90% bioprosthetic valves (88% Magna Ease, Edwards Lifesciences, and 2% Avalus, Medtronic) and 10% mechanical valves (6% Tophat, Carbomedics, 4% St Jude, Abbot). The Society of Thoracic Surgeons data elements from the University of Michigan Cardiac Surgery Data Warehouse were leveraged to identify the cohort and determine preoperative, operative, and postoperative characteristics. Electronic medical records were reviewed to supplement data collection. At 3 months' postoperatively, a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) and CTA were obtained as follow-up imaging. Afterwards, patients were followed by TTE annually. Short-term follow-up was 100% complete.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
