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.

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
