Sutureless Aortic Valve Replacement Through a Minithoracotomy : Early Results With the Perceval S Prosthesis

The Perceval S prosthesis is a sutureless self-expanding valve that has recently been introduced as an alternative to standard aortic valve replacement (AVR) in high-risk patients. The purpose of this study is to report our initial experience with minimally invasive implantation of the Perceval valve through a minithoracotomy.
