Received the information from a published paper "use of sutureless valve in aortic root enlargement" by silvana f.Marasco.Based on the information provided in this paper, perceval valve was implanted in the patients with small annulus after performing a root enlargement.As reported, result of the study post-operative course was unremarkable in all patients except for the patient who had a double valve replacement and required a permanent pacemaker insertion on day 5 post-operatively for a complete heart block.Follow-up (median 2 years, range 1 month to 4 years), has shown no paravalvular leak in any of the patients and transvalvular pressure gradients remained low (12 mmhg¿21 mmhg) at the latest follow-up.No further information is available at this time.

Updated fields: b4, g3, g6, h2, h6.Manufacturer attempted to follow up with author, but no further information has yet been received despite manufacturer multiple attempts of follow up.Since limited information is available, the definitive root cause of the reported event could not be established at this time.Conduction disorders are common in patients with aortic valve diseases.As a result, it is common for patients to receive permanent pacemaker implantation after aortic valve replacement.Risk factors include preexisting conducting disease and preoperative aortic regurgitation.This event is, therefore, a known, inherent risk of the procedure, and it is listed among the potential adverse events in the perceval ifu.
