Table 5.
Representative selection of the patient cohort, each with a different valve explanted
| Valve type | Valve size | Perceval implanted | ID of explant valve | ID of implant valve |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| St Jude Epic | 21 | L | 19 | 25 |
| St Jude Trifecta | 23 | XL | 21 | 27 |
| Carpentier-Edwards | 19 | M | 18 | 23 |
| Carpentier-Edwards Magna Ease | 23 | L | 22 | 25 |
| Valve type | Valve size | Perceval implanted | ViV TAVR size for explant (S3) | ViV TAVR size for implant (S3) | ViV TAVR size for explant (Evolut) | ViV TAVR size for implant (Evolut) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| St Jude Epic | 21 | L | 20 | 23/26 | 23 | 26/29 |
| St Jude Trifecta | 23 | XL | 23 | 26/29 | 26 | 29 |
| Carpentier-Edwards | 19 | M | 20 | 23 | 23 | 26 |
| Carpentier-Edwards Magna Ease | 23 | L | 23 | 23/26 | 26 | 26/29 |
The ID of the Perceval implanted is much larger than that of the explanted valve.19 Sutureless valve implantation consistently allows for a larger Sapien 3 or Evolut ViV TAVR option compared with the explanted valve.19ID, Internal diameter; L, large; XL, extra-large; M, medium; ViV TAVR, valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement; S, small.
