ECM STABILIZATION STRATEGIES FOR BIOPROSTHETIC HEART VALVES FOR IMPROVED DURABILITY [PDF]

, 2008
Approximately 85,000 heart valve replacement surgeries are performed every year in United States and about 300,000 surgeries worldwide. It is estimated that half of them are mechanical valve replacements and the other half bioprosthetic valve ...

A fluid-structure interaction (FSI) framework for the identification of factors triggering calcification in native and bioprosthetic heart valves

, 2021
Background: Calcification of native or bioprosthetic aortic valves (BAV) represents a major concern since calcific aortic stenosis affects 12% of the population over age 75 and calcification limits BAV durability.

Health‐Related Quality of Life and Associated Factors Among Patients With Bioprosthetic Heart Valve Replacement: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Nursing Open
Aim The use of bioprosthetic heart valves has significantly increased in recent years due to the aging population and advances in technology. Health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) is as important as clinical outcomes.

Glycosaminoglycan Stabilization Reduces Tissue Buckling in Bioprosthetic Heart Valves

, 2007
Currently, bioprosthetic heart valves are crosslinked with glutaraldehyde to prevent tissue degradation and to reduce tissue antigenicity. Glutaraldehyde forms stable crosslinks with collagen via a Schiff base reaction of the aldehyde with an amine group

Pathomorphological and microbiological analysis of an epoxy-treated bioprosthetic heart valve functioning for 25 years in a patient with rheumatic heart disease: a case report

Вестник трансплантологии и искусственных органов
Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) rarely last longer than 20 years due to the development of degenerative changes in their leaflets. We present a detailed pathomorphological description of KemCor, an epoxy-treated BHV that was removed from the mitral ...
