  Background: We evaluated and compared short- (≤ 3 months) and mid-term (≥ 4 months) clinical outcomes and hemodynamic performances of the 19-mm Mosaic® and 19-mm TrifectaTM bioprostheses for aortic valve replacement. Methods: 193 patients underwent aortic valve replacement: 37 received the 19-mm Mosaic® prosthesis (Group M) and 12 received the 19-mm TrifectaTM prosthesis (Group T). Pre- and postoperative echocardiographic parameters and New York Heart Association classes were evaluated in both groups. Results: Baseline characteristics and preoperative echocardiographic parameters were similar between the groups. The New York Heart Association class improved in both groups. The mean left ventricular-aortic pressure gradient was 22.6 mmHg ± 8.4 mmHg in Group M and 15.0 mmHg ± 6.2 mmHg in Group T. The left ventricular .. Read More»
