Structural valve deterioration is primarily caused by cyclic fatigue but not immune rejection
IntroductionCurrently, chronic immune rejection of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) is considered among the key players in the development of structural valve degeneration (SVD).

Remodelable Bioprosthetic Valves: A New Paradigm for Long-Term Outcomes [PDF]
Bioprosthetic heart valves are widely used in the treatment of valvular heart disease, yet their long-term durability remains a significant limitation.

Background In Australia, acute rheumatic fever occurs almost exclusively in young Indigenous peoples, with young- to middle-aged Indigenous people being predominantly affected by rheumatic heart disease. This can result in a need for aortic valve surgery.

A chronological history of heart valve prostheses to offer perspectives of their limitations
Prosthetic heart valves (PHV) have been studied for around 70 years. They are the best alternative to save the life of patients with cardiac valve diseases. However, current PHVs may still cause significant disadvantages to patients.
