In addition, a large meta-analysis of 13 studies, with more than 2,500 patients, revealed an extremely low 2.7% rate of severe PPM with the Trifecta valve. As noted by Phan et al., this rate “is considerably lower than the 9.8% incidence in the general population undergoing aortic valve replacement.”16
