Abstract
Type of aortic biologic valve for the 45- to 65-year-old patient does not affect midterm survival or valve-related morbidity. Thus the choice of biologic valve for the 45- to 65-year-old patient should be dictated by patient-surgeon preference, ease of implantation, and reoperation until longer comparative studies are available.
