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

open access: yesJournal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2010
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 ...

Pulsed Cavitational Ultrasound Softening

open access: yesJACC: 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

Long-term clinical outcome and performance of transcatheter aortic valve replacement with a self-expandable bioprosthesis.

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2020
AIMS In the last decade, transcatheter aortic valve (TAV) replacement determined a paradigm shift in the treatment of patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Data on long-term TAV performance are still limited.

Experimental Study and Early Clinical Application Of a Sutureless Aortic Bioprosthesis

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015
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.

Long-Term outcomes and durability of the mitroflow aortic bioprosthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
[Abstract] Background. This study aims to determine the incidence and causes of structural valve deterioration (SVD) among all models of Mitroflow bioprostheses (A12/LX/DL), as well as to define their long-term clinical and hemodynamic performance ...

Bicuspid mitral bioprosthesis. [PDF]

open access: yesThorax, 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.

Degeneration of Bioprosthetic Heart Valves: Update 2020

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
The implantation of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) is increasingly becoming the treatment of choice in patients requiring heart valve replacement surgery.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in failed bioprosthetic surgical valves. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
IMPORTANCE: Owing to a considerable shift toward bioprosthesis implantation rather than mechanical valves, it is expected that patients will increasingly present with degenerated bioprostheses in the next few years.
