Trifecta - April/2021 Update

What kind of design does the Trifecta valve have?

• Internally mounted

• Stentless

• Wrap design

• Sutureless

What type of failure is shown in the image above

• Aortic Regurgitation due to leaflet rupture

• Aortic stenosis due calcification

• Aortic Regurgitation due to endocarditis

• Aortic stenosis due pannus formation

What is one of the main clinical implications in cases of leaflet rupture. Check all that apply

• Acute aortic insufficiency

• Progressive symptoms

• Higher possibility of cardiogenic shock

• Emergency surgery

True or false. Comparative studies between Trifecta and Magna present an initial superior hemodynamic performance for Trifecta, which does not remain with time

• True

• False

What is the name of the valve in the image above

• Mitroflow

• Trifecta

• Magna Ease

• Trifecta GT

Which calcium connection mechanisms does the LINX AC treatment address

• Phospholipids and aldehydes

• Phospholipids

• Aldehydes

• Collagen Matrix

What precautions the IFU of Trifecta highlights about the titanium stent. Check all that apply

• Deformable

• Resilient material

• Fracturable

• Careful when tying sutures

True or False. Regarding the ViV procedure: Trifecta and Trifecta GT have a 7x higher risk of coronary obstruction and are not fracturable, increasing the PPM rates

• True

• False

Which key messages about Trifecta. Check all that apply

• Design not favorable for ViV

• Hemodynamics unstable over time

• Higher SVD rates compared to Magna Ease

• Main failure mechanism = acute aortic regurgitation

• Several SVD reports
