Mitral Valve Bioprosthesis Is Safer Than Mechanical Mitral Prosthesis in Young Women.
BACKGROUND The ultimate goal of mitral valve surgery in young women is to extend life expectancy and improve quality of life. Mitral valve replacement (MVR) prosthesis in middle-aged women is a difficult choice between the lifelong anticoagulation by ...

ABSTRACT Background Valve‐in‐valve (ViV) procedures are an established therapy. Self‐expanding (SE) supra‐annular transcatheter heart valves (THV) achieve superior hemodynamics compared to balloon‐expandable (BE) intra‐annular THV, but influence of stent design versus valve position remains unclear.

Early calcific degeneration of the St. Jude Medical Epic aortic bioprosthesis
This report highlights the need for close surveillance of bioprosthetic valves. Unaccountable degeneration of bioprosthetic valves can develop early after implantation and usually requires replacing the failed valve with a mechanical prosthesis.

Chronic kidney disease and valvular heart disease: State of the art
Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and valvular heart disease (VHD) frequently coexist and are associated with a significant increase in morbidity and mortality. Their interplay is complex and multifactorial, involving shared pathophysiological mechanisms such as chronic inflammation, mineral and bone disorder, vascular and valvular calcification ...

ABSTRACT Valve‐in‐valve (ViV) Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a valid treatment option in symptomatic patients with failed aortic bioprosthetic valves, most especially in those with intermediate, high or prohibitive risk of surgery. Due to the unique design of stentless bioprosthetic valves with absence of visible posts and
