Exercise Hemodynamics and Quality of Life after Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis in the Elderly Using the Hancock II Bioprosthesis

Abstract: Background and Aim. While aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis can be performed safely in elderly patients, there is a need for hemodynamic and quality of life evaluation to determine the value of aortic valve replacement in older patients who may have age-related activity limitation. Materials and Methods. We conducted a prospective evaluation of patients who underwent aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis with the Hancock II porcine bioprosthesis.

“…One study comparing preoperative and 6 th month postoperative quality of life using SF-36 in patients with a mean age of over 70 undergoing AVR reported positive changes at the 6 th month in physical functioning, social functioning, physical health-related task restriction, vitality, and health status. That same study also stated that functional capacity decreased from NYHA class 3 to class 1 in 82% of patients [ 11 ] .…”
