In this edition of Heart, Lung and Circulation, Amer and colleagues present the outcome of a metanalysis of 24 studies, with a total
number of 5,073 patients, undergoing sutureless aortic valve replacement (SU-AVR)
[
[1]
]. Mortality at 1- and 12-month follow-up was 2.5% and 2.7%, respectively, with a
low risk of thromboembolism (1.6%), and acceptable paravalvular leak (0.5%). These
results corroborate the positive outcomes achieved at 30 days post-AVR [
[2]
,
[3]
], validating that the SU-AVR is safe and reduces operative time, especially in the
setting of minimally invasive procedures.Keywords
