AB This  chapter  provides  an  overview  of  aortic  valve  replacement  (AVR)  with  stented  bioprostheses.  The  indications  for  aortic  valve  surgery  are  reviewed,  with  an  emphasis  on  current  evidence-based  guidelines,  and  currently  available  stented  aortic  bioprostheses  are  described.  Clinical  and  physiologic  outcomes  of  aortic  valve  surgery  are  critically  evaluated  to  create  a  rational  basis  for  prosthesis  selection.
