AB The  history  of  stentless  xenograft  aortic  valves  follows  in  the  footsteps  of  the  aortic  homograft,  which  was  considered  historically  as  the  best  biologic  prosthesis  for  management  of  root  pathology  and  for  optimizing  hemodynamics  in  the  absence  of  root  pathology.  The  original  concept  behind  creating  a  stentless  xenograft  valve  was  to  maintain  the  excellent  hemodynamics  of  the  homograft,  while  improving  on  the  availability,  durability,  technical  complexity,  and  costs  associated  with  homografts.
