Radiation-associated bioprosthetic valve dysfunction: an initial case-control analysis [PDF]
IntroductionRadiation therapy (RT) for intrathoracic and breast malignancies has been associated with long-term valvular heart disease (VHD) in native valves. However, its impact on bioprosthetic heart valves remains unclear.

Thrombus-Induced Prosthetic Valve Dysfunction Demonstrating Hypo-Attenuated Leaflet Thickening: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hypo‐attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) is an important and potentially underrecognized cause of late bioprosthetic valve dysfunction after surgical AVR. Multimodal imaging, including echocardiography and electrocardiogram‐gated computed tomography, is essential for diagnosis, and timely surgical or medical intervention can effectively ...
