Early calcific degeneration of the St. Jude Medical Epic aortic bioprosthesis

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, 2020
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.

Reduced Complement and Granulocyte Activation by α‐Gal Knockout Porcine Pericardium for Bioprosthetic Heart Valves: A Pilot Hemocompatibility Study

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Genetically modified, α‐Gal‐depleted porcine pericardium and wild type tissues are investigated for hemocompatibility and material properties such as mechanobiology and ECM profile to carve out the suitability of the gene‐modified tissue as material for biological heart valve prostheses. ABSTRACT Xenogeneic pericardium is the main source for biological

Around and Through: Successful Mitral Paravalvular Leakage Closure Using Both Anterograde and Retrograde Approaches

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 107, Issue 7, Page 2179-2182, June 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a recognized complication after surgical mitral valve replacement and may cause heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, or hemolysis when moderate or severe. Although redo surgery is the definitive treatment, it carries substantial risk in elderly patients or those with multiple prior cardiac surgeries.

Early Outcomes of Real‐World Aortic Valve Replacement With RESILIA Tissue in the Chinese Population

open access: yesClinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 6, June 2026.
In this real‐world study of 250 Chinese patients scheduled for elective aortic valve replacement, the INSPIRIS RESILIA aortic valve demonstrated favorable 1‐year safety, with a 98.0% rate of freedom from all‐cause mortality and no observed structural valve deterioration, alongside stable hemodynamic performance.

Permanent Pacemaker Implantation Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Incidence, Predictors, and Association With Reduced Ischemic Stroke Risk

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 107, Issue 6, Page 2124-2134, May 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Development of conduction abnormalities requiring pacing after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is relatively common. The effects of post‐TAVR permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation on mortality, ischemic stroke, and cardiovascular outcomes remain incompletely characterized.

Percutaneous aortic valve replacement for severe aortic regurgitation in degenerated bioprosthesis: the first valve in valve procedure using the Corevalve Revalving system

open access: yes, 2007
Percutaneous valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis has shown to be an alternative treatment option for non-surgical candidates. We report on the first successful valve in valve procedure in an 80-year-old patient with a severe regurgitation of a ...

Challenging Anticoagulation With Warfarin and Heparin Following Mechanical Mitral Valve Replacement in a Patient With Infective Endocarditis: A Case Report Highlighting Diagnostic Difficulties

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Warfarin remains the cornerstone of anticoagulation therapy following mechanical heart valve replacement. However, challenging anticoagulation responses, resistance to warfarin, and even more rarely to both warfarin and heparin pose significant clinical challenges and complicate management strategies.

Supra‐Annular Versus Intra‐Annular Devices for Transcatheter Aortic Valve‐in‐Valve Replacement: The PANDORA International Registry

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background As transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) expands to younger, lower‐risk populations, the need for repeat procedures due to valve degeneration is expected to increase.
