Bioprosthetic heart valves of the future. [PDF]
Xenotransplantation, 2014 AbstractGlutaraldehyde‐fixed bioprosthetic heart valves (GBHVs), derived from pigs or cows, undergo structural valve deterioration (SVD) over time, with calcification and eventual failure. It is generally accepted that SVD is due to chemical processes between glutaraldehyde and free calcium ions in the blood.

Dynamic Echocardiographic Imaging of a Valve-in-Valve Mitral Prosthesis
Case Reports in Radiology, 2022 Dynamic imaging of heart valves and specifically prosthetic valves is a central benefit of echocardiography. Most bioprosthetic heart valves degenerate over a given time and hence require repeat valve replacement which carries a significant risk of ...

Polyvinyl alcohol improves resistance of epoxy-treated bovine pericardium to calcification in vitro
Трансплантология (Москва), 2023 Background. Around half of bioprosthetic heart valves become dysfunctional 15 years postimplantation because of structural valve deterioration notable for the degradation and calcification of the prosthetic tissue.

Characterization of immunogenic Neu5Gc in bioprosthetic heart valves. [PDF]
Xenotransplantation, 2016 AbstractBackgroundThe two common sialic acids (Sias) in mammals are N‐acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and its hydroxylated form N‐glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc). Unlike most mammals, humans cannot synthesize Neu5Gc that is considered foreign and recognized by circulating antibodies.

Recurrent infective endocarditis causing heart valve failure: A case report
Human Pathology: Case Reports, 2017 Infective endocarditis (IE) is an infection that does not usually respond rapidly to treatment, often because its early symptoms are non-specific. The diseased valves (native or bioprosthetic) may be calcified and the thrombotic vegetations on them ...

Sevelamer Attenuates Bioprosthetic Heart Valve Calcification [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Objective: Sevelamer hydrochloride is a phosphate binder used to treat hyperphosphatemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients that can reduce valvular and vascular calcification. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of sevelamer treatment on calcification in bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs).Methods: Wister rats were randomly divided ...

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2023 Background: None of the currently available prosthetic valves are comparable to native valves in hemodynamic functions. One has to choose between durability, thrombogenicity, or risk of major bleeds.
