Background: Trifecta™ is an externally wrapped bovine pericardial aortic valve with a favorable hemodynamic performance and acceptable rate of freedom from structural valve degeneration. However, recent reports of early Trifecta valve failure question its durability. Rheumatic valve disease in middle age population is predominant, there is no data on the Trifecta performance, durability or safety available worldwide over the middle age population, as well as there is no previous reports from Middle East region. We report on mid-term clinical and hemodynamic performance of Trifecta valve in middle age population with small aortic annuls, a single centre report. Methods: A retrospective …
