Influence of Original Native Aortic Valve Lesion (Stenosis or Steno-insufficiency vs. Insufficiency) on Post-implant Structural Bioprosthetic Degeneration After Aortic Valve Replacement
All patients undergoing elective aortic valve replacement for stenotic aortic valve replacement or aortic valve regurgitation at our institution from 2012 to 2021 who met the inclusion criteria for the study (described in the dedicated session) will be enrolled in the study. These patients will be contacted to provide information about the clinical status, NYHA functional class, possible rehospitalization, possible cardiovascular events and to perform a postoperative echocardiography if not performed in the previous year. Once consent is given, pre-, intra- and post-operative data will be collected in a dedicated, structured, database.
