Summary:

In the cases we performed, we just removed the diseased valve and replaced it withstented, sutureless valve without any suture. Recently, a cardiac surgeon conducted surgery using miniature pump in a highrisk patient with 90% arteries blockages. In the absence of valve replacement, patients die on average within two to three years of the emergence of symptoms.”He said, “Sutureless bioprosthesis simplify aortic valve replacement . Shorter operation times can sometimes lower complication risks and sometimes result in faster recovery time.”The three patients with AS have undergone AVR using sutureless valve.Cardiac surgeons are giving a new dimension to risky heart surgeries. The valve allows quick placement with a reduced operation time..
