Choosing A Prosthetic Heart Valve
Cardiology Clinics, 1991Although most of the available prosthetic heart valves function remarkably well, the variety of available choices attests to the inability of any single one to fulfill the requirements of the ideal valve substitute. The mechanical prostheses include the caged-ball, tilting-disc, and bileaflet valves. Tissue valves available in the United States are the

Valvular heart disease, infected valves and prosthetic heart valves
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1990The major causes of systemic embolism from valvular heart disease (mitral, aortic and mitral valve prolapse), prosthetic valves (both mechanical and tissue valves) and infected valves (endocarditis) are reviewed from the standpoint of their incidence and complications.

The first aortic valve was implanted into a patient at Guys Hospital in London by Donald Ross in 1962 [1] and over the following 45 years major changes have occurred in the processing of heart valves. The first valves were preserved using chemical agents such as formalin, glutaraldehyde, beta propriolactone and in the latter years of the decade ...

Rheumatic valve disease remains prevalent in developing countries, but over the last 50 years there has been a decline in the incidence of rheumatic valve disease and an increase in the prevalence of degenerative valve pathology in northern Europe and North America. In all forms of valve disease, the most appropriate initial diagnostic investigation is
