Will Sutureless Valves Make a Difference?

Steffen Pfeiffer of Paracelsus Medical University, Nurnberg, Germany, delivers a talk on sutureless prostheses and their role in minimally invasive aortic valve replacement. Dr. Pfeiffer discusses the benefits of using sutureless valves, and argues that minimally invasive surgery with a sutureless valve is an important alternative to catheter-based techniques.
