Benefits and Pitfalls of the Perceval Sutureless Bioprosthesis [PDF]
Objective: To highlight the main target points covered by clinical studies on the Perceval sutureless valve for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and raise a point of discussion for further expansion of its use when compared with stented bioprostheses (SB) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).Methods: We reviewed clinical trials and

First Experience With a Novel Self-Expandable Valve for Mitral Annular Calcification Guided by Three-Dimensional Printing. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) may emerge as a surgical alternative for high‐risk patients with severe mitral annular calcification (MAC), yet several questions remain to be addressed. We present the case of a 67‐year‐old high‐risk female patient with severe MAC (MAC score = 8) and mitral stenosis (effective orifice area = 121.3

Sutureless aortic bioprosthesis [PDF]
Aortic valve replacement (AVR) is the treatment of choice for aortic valve disease, with excellent results reported in the short- and long-term follow-up. Due to the increasing number of patient comorbidities and older age, various technical alternatives have been developed such as transcatheter aortic valve implantation and, more recently, sutureless ...

Bicuspid mitral bioprosthesis. [PDF]
A bicuspid mitral bioprosthesis was prepared by mounting glutaraldehyde-processed porcine pericardium onto commercially available Brownlee-Yates stents. The bioprostheses were inserted into 17 dogs. Haemodynamic performance and long-term function of the valve was assessed.

European experience with the Mosaic bioprosthesis [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the clinical and hemodynamic performance of the Mosaic bioprosthesis (Medtronic, Inc, Minneapolis, Minn).The stented porcine bioprosthesis combines the amino-oleic acid antimineralization treatment and the zero-pressure differential fixation technique for improved tissue durability.

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Neither Improves Survival nor Reduces Myocardial or Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Peri-interventional myocardial injury occurs frequently during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We assessed the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on myocardial injury, acute kidney injury (AKIN) and 6-month ...

Human aortic bioprosthesis [PDF]
We have read with the greatest interest the paper by Wolfgang A. Goetz et al. entitled Truly stentless molded autologous pericardial aortic valve prosthesis with single point attached commissures in a sheep model [1]. We congratulate the authors on their achievements in the development of valve bioprosthesis.

Long-term survival after aortic valve replacement with the Mitroflow bioprosthesis : a comparative study [PDF]
Background Recent case reports of early structural degeneration of the Mitroflow valve have cast doubts on the suitability of this bioprosthesis, particularly in the smaller sizes, and in younger patients.

An echocardiographic comparison of sutureless and conventional aortic valve replacement : a matched case-control study [PDF]
Background: Patients at a high operative risk for conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) may be offered sutureless valve implantation. Sutureless valves resemble conventional valves but incorporate an anchoring mechanism without using annular ...
