“Clinical experience with aortic valve replacement using Omniscience prosthetic valve”

Abstract

Clinical and hemodynamic results of aortic valve replacement using Omniscience valve in 33 patients were presented. The overall clinical results were good. And the postoperative hemodynamic studies disclosed the satisfactory cardiac performance, but the effective aortic valve area during exercise showed mild stenotic status. Omniscience valve has proved to be favorable in clinical use, but a longer follow up is still necessary to determine the thrombogenesity and durability.
