Abstract
RDAVR facilitates reduced aortic cross-clamp and cardiopulmonary bypass times compared with standard AVR, particularly in patients undergoing concomitant procedures, allowing the use of larger prostheses and resulting in lower transvalvular gradients and higher indexed effective orifice area compared with standard AVR. Therefore, RDAVR may help to overcome patient-prosthesis mismatch in some patients.
