Experience with the Mitroflow aortic bioprosthesis [PDF]

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1994
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.

Conduit-on-valve replacement of a degenerated mitral bioprosthesis with a bioprosthesis [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2003
Explantation of a degenerated mitral bioprosthesis with reimplantation of a new bioprosthesis is time-consuming and can be associated with several life-threatening complications. We developed a technique to simplify this procedure and avoid the complications by attaching a new bioprosthesis supported by a pericardium-covered Dacron tube to the intact ...

Sutureless aortic bioprosthesis [PDF]

Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2017
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]

Thorax, 1981
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 Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2002
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.

Benefits and Pitfalls of the Perceval Sutureless Bioprosthesis [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
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

Human aortic bioprosthesis [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2008
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.

Pulsed Cavitational Ultrasound Softening

JACC: Basic to Translational Science, 2017
The authors propose a novel noninvasive therapeutic approach for degenerative calcified bioprosthetic heart valves based on pulsed cavitational ultrasound (PCU) to improve the valvular function by remotely softening calcified stiff cusps. This study aims

EARLY DEGENERATED BIOPROSTHETIC MITRAL VALVE [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Pediatrics, 2014
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is fairly common in children, often being randomly found in asymptomatic, as well as in symptomatic patients with conjunctive tissue diseases (CTD). The authors report the case of an 11-yearold girl, diagnosed at the age of 6

Transcatheter Valve-in-Valve Procedures for Bioprosthetic Valve Dysfunction in Patients With Rheumatic vs. Non-Rheumatic Valvular Heart Disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Bioprosthetic heart valve has limited durability and lower long-term performance especially in rheumatic heart disease (RHD) patients that are often subject to multiple redo operations.
