Randomized comparison of exercise haemodynamics of Freestyle, Magna Ease and Trifecta bioprostheses after aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis [ADULT CARDIAC]

CONCLUSIONS In a prospective, randomized study comparing haemodynamics after Freestyle, Magna Ease and Trifecta, all three valves exhibited good haemodynamics at rest and with exercise. There were small but significant differences between groups, with favourable haemodynamics associated with Trifecta compared to Magna Ease, and no significant differences between Trifecta and Freestyle. The Trifecta valve appears to offer haemodynamics similar to a stentless valve without the technical complexity of stentless valve implantation. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT01635244.
