Mechanical Versus Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients Undergoing Bentall Procedure

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background The widely used Bentall procedure is the criterion standard treatment for aortic root pathology. Studies comparing the long‐term outcomes of bioprosthetic and mechanical valves in patients undergoing the Bentall procedure are limited.

Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis of Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Presenting as Cardioembolic Stroke in a Patient without Predisposing Systemic Disease

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2023
Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) describes a cluster of noninfectious heart valve lesions and is histologically characterised by the presence of sterile platelet and fibrin-rich aggregates.

Rapidly Progressive Bilateral Infective Endocarditis Involving Prosthetic Material After Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Infective endocarditis after repaired tetralogy of Fallot can rapidly progress when prosthetic material is involved. We report bilateral multivalvular endocarditis undetected by transthoracic echocardiography but identified by transesophageal echocardiography.

Radiation-associated bioprosthetic valve dysfunction: an initial case-control analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
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

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
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 ...

Comparing porcine versus bovine mitral valve replacement in terms of structural valve deterioration: a systematic review

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background Bioprosthetic mitral valve replacements (MVR) commonly utilize either bovine or porcine valves; however, in terms of structural valve deterioration (SVD), clinical superiority between these valve types remains controversial.

Accuracy of data routinely collected by Australian hospitals for identifying infective endocarditis, causative organisms and clinical outcomes: a diagnostic accuracy study

Internal Medicine Journal, Volume 56, Issue 9, Page 1544-1552, September 2026.
Abstract Background Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life‐threatening condition, and the surveillance of the incidence is important for monitoring disease trends. Administrative data routinely collected by hospitals offer a feasible and inexpensive method for surveillance of patients with IE, yet the accuracy of coding of IE, causative organisms and ...
