Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Fracture During Valve-in-valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation [PDF]
The limited durability of surgical bioprostheses, combined with an ageing population, has led to an increasing demand for replacing degenerated bioprosthetic surgical heart valves, which is projected to increase. Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve

Early bioprosthetic valve calcification with alfacalcidol supplementation [PDF]
We report a case of early bioprosthetic valve calcification in a 76 year-old woman who had received supplementation with alfacalcidol, an analogue of vitamin D, for 3 years after her initial valve replacement.

Transcatheter heart valve in valve implantation with Edwards SAPIEN bioprosthetic valve for different degenerated bioprosthetic valve positions (First Iranian ViV report with mid-term follow up) [PDF]
Introduction: After early successful experience with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), concept of transcatheter implantation of a new valve within a failing bioprosthetic valve emerged. Valve-in-valve (ViV) implantation seems to be a simpler

Effects of Bioprosthetic Valve Fracturing on Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Transvalvular Gradients [PDF]
Background: Valve-in-valve (ViV) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is quickly becoming a routine and effective means by which to treat degenerated bioprosthetic valves.

Development of methods for the tissue engineering of cardiac valves using mesenchymal stem cells [PDF]
Cardiac valve replacement is the second most common heart operation in the Western World. Valve replacements currently available are poorly adapted for use in young patients who typically require multiple re-operations as they grow, resulting in ...

Meta-Analysis of Bioprosthetic Valve Thrombosis after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation. [PDF]
Bioprosthetic valve thrombosis may complicate transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This meta-analysis sought to evaluate the prevalence and clinical impact of subclinical leaflet thrombosis (SLT) and clinical valve thrombosis (CVT) after TAVI.

Production and characterisation of acellular porcine pulmonary heart valve conduits [PDF]
Cardiac valve replacement is the second most common heart operation. Currently available replacement heart valves all have limitations. This study aimed to produce and characterise a decellularised, biocompatible porcine pulmonary root conduit for use ...

Objective: Early warfarin anticoagulation is recommended in patients undergoing surgical bioprosthetic valve implantation or valve repair. It is unclear whether non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants can be a full alternative to warfarin.
