Seven-year follow-up of Perceval sutureless bioprosthesis for aortic
valve endocarditis.

Abstract
Although some anecdotal experience concerning the use of modern
sutureless aortic valve bioprosthesis for the treatment of endocarditis
has been reported, no data is available on the mid-and long-term
results. We describe a case of a patient successfully treated with
Perceval sutureless bioprosthesis for aortic valve endocarditis and his
seven years follow-up.
