Sutureless aortic valve replacement is associated with shorter aortic crossclamp times and lower pressures in small aortic roots. Available data are limited on the use of this sutureless method in combined cardiac surgery valve replacement. Combined cardiac surgery valve procedures using a sutureless valve in the aortic position were performed in 11 patients between 2015 and 2020 at the Department of Cardiac Surgery of the University Hospital in Pilsen. The logistic EUROSCORE was 17 ± 7,68, and the aortic cross clamp time 74 ± 11.8 minutes. A benefical postoperative hemodynamic effect was observed in all cases. Only one person with a very high surgical risk and concomitant heart failure died in the early postoperative period. None of the patients received permanent pacemaker, and no valve interference was observed.
