Outcomes with Toronto stentless porcine aortic valve: the Australian experience
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to describe the Australian experience with TSPV in the aortic position in 543 patients followed for up to 8 years. Prospectively collected data were reviewed. The average age was 73.5 years, with 74.4% older than 70 years. Eighty-five percent of valves were calcified and 79.5% stenotic. Most valves implanted (79.3%) were sizes 25, 27, or 29 mm. Concomitant coronary bypass was performed in 45.3% of patients. Total cumulative follow-up for the 543 patients was 2131 patient years. At 6 years, 82.1% and at 8 years, 76.3% were in New York Heart Association class I, 55% had no aortic insufficiency. The average mean systolic gradient for all valves at 6 years was 7.4 mmHg. The effective orifice area varied from 1.7 cm(2) (23-mm valve) to 1.96 cm(2) (29-mm valve). Actuarial survival at 8 years was 79.3%. Freedom from valve-related deaths was 93.2%. There was one instance of primary tissue valve failure during follow-up, with 93.3% freedom from explant. The early hemodynamic benefits of the TSPV are well maintained during more than 8 years of follow-up, without evident significant valvular dysfunction. Longer follow-up time is required to validate durability.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
