| AR (moderate or above) (%) | 2 (1.8) | 0 (0.0) | 0.590 |
| Perivalvular leakage (%) | 0 (0.0) | 1 (1.1) | 0.948 |
| Biological valve aging (%) | 0 (0.0) | 0 (0.0) | N/A |

| Postoperative aortic valve re-operation (%) | 1 (0.9) | 8 (8.9) | 0.020 |
Continuous variables were present as median (Q25, Q75) or mean ± SD. Chi-square test for categorical variables and t test or wilcoxon rank sum test for continuous variables
Bold letters indicate a statistically significant difference
*Anticoagulation-related thromboembolism/bleeding events include cerebral hemorrhage, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, mechanical flap stuck event, cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, because of coagulation function was abnormal
