replacement in children may be unavoidable. The evidence on outcome after pediatric aortic …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the incidence of infective
endocarditis (IE) in right ventricle–to–pulmonary artery conduits and valves, comparing …

Background: There are several options available for aortic valve replacement (AVR), with
few comparative reports in the literature. The optimal choice for AVR in each age group is …

Background: The ideal aortic valve substitute in young and middle-aged adults remains
unknown. We sought to compare the long-term outcomes of patients undergoing the Ross …

Background: It is unclear whether the Ross procedure offers superior survival compared with
mechanical aortic valve replacement (AVR). Objectives: This study evaluated experience …
