Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Few teams in the world can reliably analyze tissue microbiota. In this regard, the present group has unique expertise in the analysis of blood and tissue microbiota, the first to describe in 2011.

Having a blood biomarker of this valve microbiota could help guide the therapeutic strategy before and after the intervention. This study will be the first to test the hypothesis that the analysis of the blood microbiota makes it possible to detect the carriage of a tissue microbiota in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) for degenerative aortic valve disease and should also lay the foundations for a prospective study. intended to evaluate the impact of the blood and valve microbiota on the post-operative prognosis of these patients and the complications at one year. This would be a first proof of concept of the role of the tissue microbiota in valvular degeneration linked to aging.
