Aortic Valve Replacement with 31- and 33-mm Mechanical Prostheses: Early Results

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The mean aortic diameter of Indian adults is 25–31 mm, yet fewer than 1% of worldwide heart valve procedures involve a 31-mm aortic heart valve. Of the 72 large prosthetic aortic valves (31-mm) implanted in the Asia Pacific region during 2001–2003, 53 (74%) were implanted at our institution.
