Impact of Left Ventricular Mass Index on Early Outcomes After Aortic Valve Replacement with Sutureless Bioprosthetic Valve: A Comparison of Two Decades
Abstract:Introduction: The objective of the present study was to elucidate whether high left ventricular mass index (LVMI) affects early outcomes after sutureless bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement (AVR) in aortic stenosis (AS). Patients and Methods: Postoperative early outcomes of 60 high-risk patients with aortic valve stenosis after replacement with sutureless bioprosthetic valve were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were grouped into two depending on LVMI. Left ventricular (LV) mass was calculated using the D… Show more
