Cryopreserved aortoiliac allograft (CAA) has been proposed for aortic reconstruction to improve outcomes in this high-risk population. METHODS A multicenter study using a standardized database was performed at 14 of the 20 highest volume institutions that used CAA for aortic...

متن کاملPrimary aortic valve replacement with cryopreserved aortic allograft: an echocardiographic follow-up study of 570 patients.
BACKGROUND Despite the many advantages of an aortic allograft valve (AAV) over a prosthetic aortic valve, its durability is suboptimal. The aims of the present study were to document characteristic features of AAV dysfunction and to investigate factors influencing the development of such dysfunction. METHODS AND RESULTS A group of 570 patients (mean age, 48+/-16 years) with a cryopreserved AA...
