    Abstract:
    To assess the hemodynamic performance of the prosthetic valve in the aortic position, we examined dobutamine-stress echocardiography (DSE) to the patients underwent AVR with CEP valve or SJM valve. In 23 mm size, there were no significant differences between CEP group and SJM group in Peak velocity of the aortic jet (PV), peak pressure gradient (PPG) and effective orifice area (EOA). On the other hand, in 21 mm size, PV and PPG of the CEP group were significantly lower than those of the SJM group after DSE. The EOA of the CEP group was significantly larger than that of the SJM group after DSE. Our results suggest that the hemodynamic function of the CEP valve is superior to that of the SJM valve especially in small aortic annuli.
