Recent developments for surgical aortic valve replacement: the concept of sutureless valve technology [PDF]
Aortic stenosis has become the most frequent type of valvular heart disease in Europe and North America and presents in the large majority of patients as calcified aortic stenosis in adults of advanced age.

Transapical aortic ‘valve-in-valve' procedure for degenerated stented bioprosthesis [PDF]
Standard surgical aortic valve replacement with a biological prosthesis remains the treatment of choice for low- and mid-risk elderly patients (traditionally >65 years of age) suffering from severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis or insufficiency, and ...

BackgroundThe prevalence of hypo‐attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) and reduced leaflet motion (RLM) is unknown in surgically implanted bioprostheses because systematic investigation of HALT and/or RLM is limited to a few catheter‐based valves. The aim

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in the setting of failed surgical bioprosthesis (valve-in-valve) is a valuable option for patients with bioprosthetic aortic stenosis or regurgitation who are deemed high risk for repeat open heart surgery. Although

CORONARY PERFUSION:IMPACT OF FLOW DYNAMICS AND GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF TWO DIFFERENT AORTIC PROSTHESES OF SIMILAR SIZE [PDF]
BackgroundAortic valve replacement leads to improvement of coronary flow but not to complete normalization. Coronary hypoperfusion contributes to higher left ventricular mass persistence, arrhythmias, congestive heart failure and sudden death.

Thrombosis of Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve: Is the Entire Arsenal Deployed?
The proliferation of transcatheter aortic valve implantation has alerted clinicians to a specific type of prosthetic degeneration represented by thrombosis. The pathogenesis of this clinical or subclinical phenomenon, which can occur in up to 15% of both

Prognosis after aortic valve replacement with a bioprosthesis: predictions based on meta-analysis and microsimulation [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Bioprostheses are widely used as an aortic valve substitute, but knowledge about prognosis is still incomplete. The purpose of this study was to provide insight into the age-related life expectancy and actual ...

Transcatheter Valve-in-Valve and Valve-in-Ring for Treating Aortic and Mitral Surgical Prosthetic Dysfunction [PDF]
Bioprosthetic valve use has increased significantly. Considering their limited durability, there will remain an ongoing clinical need for repairing or replacing these prostheses in the future. The current standard of care for treating bioprosthetic valve
