Long-Term Clinical and Echocardiographic Follow-Up of the Freestyle Stentless Aortic Bioprosthesis

Abstract

Aortic valve replacement with the Freestyle bioprosthesis in a subcoronary position provides good long-term clinical and echocardiographic outcomes for patients >60 years of age. Severe aortic insufficiency with leaflet tear is the major mode of SVD leading to reoperation in these patients.
