Is distortion of the bioprosthesis ring a risk factor for early calcification ? [PDF]
Background As the population ages, bioprosthesis are increasingly being used in cardiac valve replacement. Pericardial bioprosthesis combine an excellent hemodynamic performance with low thrombogenicity, but valve failure associated with calcification ...

Experience with the Mitroflow aortic bioprosthesis [PDF]
From October 1985 to May 1990, the Mitroflow bovine pericardial valve was placed in the aortic position in 168 patients (97 men, 71 women) with a mean age of 69.7 years. Eighty-nine patients had isolated aortic valve replacement, and 79 had aortic valve replacement and additional procedures.

Aortic Valve Replacement with a Conventional Stented Bioprosthesis versus Sutureless Bioprosthesis: a Study of 763 Patients [PDF]
The aim of this retrospective study was to compare early postoperative outcomes after aortic valve replacement (AVR) with sutureless bioprostheses and conventional stented bioprostheses implanted through median sternotomy.From January 2011 to December 2016, 763 patients underwent aortic valve replacement with bioprostheses; of these, 139 received a ...

Totally percutaneous valve replacement for severe aortic regurgitation in a degenerating bioprosthesis [PDF]
Recently, the feasibility and safety of percutaneous aortic valve replacement (PAVR) has been reported in the treatment of degenerative aortic valve stenosis in patients at high-risk for surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR).1 However, so far this ...
