Thrombocytopenia After Aortic Valve Replacement: Comparison Between Sutureless Perceval S Valve and Perimount Magna Ease Bioprosthesis
Introduction: The incidence of postoperative thrombocytopenia after aortic valve
replacement (AVR) with the Perceval S Sutureless bioprosthesis remains
unclear. The aim of this study was to report thrombocytopenia associated
with the use of sutureless AVR.Methods: The data was collected retrospectively for patients who had isolated AVR with
sutureless Perceval S valve (Group A: 72 patients) and was compared with
patients who underwent isolated sutured AVR with Perimount Magna Ease
Bioprosthesis (Group B: 101 patients) in our institution between June 2014
and January 2017.Results: Cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-cl ...
