Bicuspid mitral bioprosthesis. [PDF]
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.

Unusual 30-year durability of Hancock II porcine bioprosthesis in tricuspid position [PDF]
Introduction We describe an unusual durability of a Hancock II porcine bioprosthesis in tricuspid position. Sustainability of bioprostheses is known to be limited especially in young patients. Presentation of the case A 52-year old Caucasian woman with a
