Abstract
Patient survival and freedom from prostheses-related events over 11 years still compares favorably with conventional heart valve prostheses. Mortality and morbidity remain low. Reoperation for autograft or homograft failure is higher than our previous reports, and endocarditis is also evident, 1.9% (9 of 467). Homograft dysfunction is higher in younger recipients.
