First Perceval S™ Sutureless Aortic Valve Prosthesis Implantations in Argentina
2018
espanolEl reemplazo valvular aortico con protesis sin sutura es una alternativa innovadora para el tratamiento de la estenosis aortica en los ancianos y en los pacientes de alto riesgo. Aunque la experiencia mundial con estas protesis lleva ya varios anos, solo recientemente comenzo a comercializarse en Argentina el modelo Perceval S®. Se trata de una protesis autoexpandible sin sutura hecha de pericardio bovino y montada en un stent de nitinol. En este estudio se presentan los primeros 3 casos de reemplazo valvular aortico con la bioprotesis Perceval realizados en Argentina. La tecnica sin sutura es una alternativa prometedora para el reemplazo valvular aortico quirurgico con una bioprotesis, y posiblemente pueda competir con la terapeutica intravascular en los pacientes de alto riesgo. EnglishAortic valve replacement with sutureless prostheses is an innovative alternative for the treatment of aortic stenosis in the elderlyand in high-risk patients. Although the world experience with these prostheses has been going on for several years, onlyrecently, the Perceval S™ model, consisting of a self-expanding sutureless prosthesis made of bovine pericardium and mountedon a nitinol stent, has begun to be commercialized in Argentina. In this study, we present the first three cases of aortic valvereplacement with Perceval bioprostheses performed in Argentina. The sutureless technique is a promising alternative for surgicalaortic valve replacement with a bioprosthesis, and may possibly compete with intravascular therapy in high-risk patients.
