EARLY DEGENERATED BIOPROSTHETIC MITRAL VALVE [PDF]
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

Final 5-year outcomes following aortic valve replacement with a RESILIA™ tissue bioprosthesis
OBJECTIVES Long-term durability of bioprosthetic valves is predominantly limited by structural valve deterioration. RESILIA™ tissue has exhibited reduced calcification in pre-clinical and early clinical studies.

Is distortion of the bioprosthesis ring a risk factor for early calcification ?
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 ...

The importance of the use of bovine pericardium for surgical reconstructions: a systematic review
Introduction: The use of bovine pericardium started in 1972 in cardiovascular surgeries. From the evolution of tissue engineering with care in the preparation of the material, minimizing the risk of rejection and facilitating the use for various types

Pulsed Cavitational Ultrasound Softening
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

Experimental Study and Early Clinical Application Of a Sutureless Aortic Bioprosthesis
INTRODUCTION: The conventional aortic valve replacement is the treatment of choice for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Transcatheter technique is a viable alternative with promising results for inoperable patients.
