PG - 229-32 AB - INTRODUCTION: During years more and more advanced Technologies are used for treatment of severe aortic stenosis. One of them is equine pericardial stentless bioprothesis. AIM OF THE STUDY: the aim of the study was prospective assessment of circulatory sufficiency of the patients after 3F equine pericardial stentless bioprothesis replacement (ATS-Medtronic, Inc, Minneapolis, USA). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients qualified to valve replacement were qualified to the study. The procedures were performed in general anesthesia and medial thoracothomy. The New York Heart Association (NYHA) scale was analyzed to estimate clinical results of the procedures. RESULTS: 45 patients (10 women and 35 men) aged 23-78 (mean 54 (+/- SD 12.7) were included into the study. Patients were observed during one-year follow up (FU). At the baseline three pts had NYHA II stage, 35 - III and 7 - IV. There was no pts in NYHA I stage. After 3-6 months FU 34 pts were at NYHA I stage (79%) and 9 at NYHA II. After 11-14 FU 33 pts were at NYHA I (80.4%) and 8 NYHA II (19.5%). There was no pts at NYHA IV during 12 months FU (differences between observational periods statistically significant p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: During one-year FU after equine pericardial stentless bioprothesis implantation the improvement of NYHA grade was observed.
