Abstract
Results of the first 453 consecutive patients who had 491 low profile bioprostheses implanted over a 5-yr period are summarized. During this time, with the goal of long-term durability, the valve mounting technique was slightly modified, whereas the materials and design of the annulus underwent more extensive changes.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
