Stentless aortic bioprostheses are a recent alternative to aortic valve replacement. The paper evaluates our experience to date with stentless prostheses, their advantages and drawbacks compared with other techniques of replacement; and presents our initial data. Based on these data, stentless bioprostheses seem to provide an excellent solution to aortic valve replacement. Definitive assessment will require continuous and long-term follow-up.
