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
