Sizing Strategy and Implant Considerations for the Avalus Valve

Michael G Moront et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2020 Dec.

Abstract

Hemodynamic performance of the Avalus valve through 3 years after implant is comparable to that of contemporary surgical bioprostheses. Many variables affect hemodynamic outcomes, including surgical technique. This article describes our experience with the Avalus bioprosthesis and strategies to achieve optimal hemodynamic performance.
