      valve].
PG  - 904-8
AB  - Pre- and postoperative hemodynamic parameters and activity of daily life were 
      reviewed to estimate the effectiveness of the valve in 12 cases of single aortic 
      valve replacement (AVR) using 19 mm bioprosthesis. All implanted prostheses were 
      stented-valves. Carpentier-Edwards pericardial valve was used in 7 cases and 
      Mosaic valve in 5. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) significantly decreased 
      from 167 +/- 36 to 133 +/- 27 g/m2 in the early postoperative period, and to 115 
      +/- 24 g/m2 in the intermediate phase. However, postoperative LVMI remained 
      higher in patients with body surface area (BSA) over 1.5 m2 than in those under 
      1.5 m2. Postoperative activity indicated by New York Heart Association (NYHA) 
      grade significantly improved from 2.3 +/- 1.1 to 1.4 +/- 0.5. These results 
      indicates usefulness of 19 mm bioprosthetic valve for reducing left ventricular 
      hypertrophy and improving activity, especially in patients with BSA smaller than 
      1.5 m2.
