Abstract
This study presents one of the largest series of St. Jude Medical Biocor aortic valves in the world. Results indicate an age-dependent risk of structural valve degeneration beginning as soon as 7 years postoperatively for patients below the age of 65 years, but show a low overall incidence of valve-related complications and excellent durability.
