Aortic valve replacement in sheep with a novel trileaflet mechanical heart valve prosthesis without anticoagulationCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]
Background: Even after decades of intensive research, an ideal heart valve prosthesis remains elusive. Shortcomings of conventional devices include reduced durability of bioprostheses and the thrombogenicity of mechanical substitutes, necessitating ...

Third Re-Do Surgery in a Young Woman with Massive Early Double-Valve Prosthesis and Thromboembolic Stroke [PDF]
Valvular heart disease affects more that 100 million people worldwide. Valvular replacement remains the only definite treatment for most of the patients with severe disease. Careful medical management and periodic follow up of valve function is mandatory

Replacement of aortic valve flaps with an autopericardium using the S. Ozaki technique
Classical aortic valve replacement is often fraught with negative outcomes for patients. When replacing the aortic valve with a mechanical valve prosthesis, the patient is associated for life with the use of indirect anticoagulants, which often leads to ...

The structural-geometric and functional parameters of the heart in patients after mitral prosthetics with new full-flow valves in the long-term period [PDF]
Aim. To compare the results of mitral valve replacement with the full-flow mechanical valve MedInzh-ST and the classical prosthesis MedInzh-2, to learn the structural and functional parameters of the heart depending from the prosthesis in the long-tern ...

Heyde Syndrome Treated by Conventional Aortic Valve Replacement [PDF]
Heyde syndrome manifests as aortic stenosis associated with gastrointestinal bleeding. We describe the case of a 64-year-old man who came to the emergency room due to acute heart failure and intermittent gastrointestinal bleeding.

Mechanical prosthetic mitral valve obstruction: Pannus or thrombus? A case report
Substitution of a defective heart valve with a prosthetic heart valve turns the native disease for prosthesis-related complications. One of the most serious and dreaded complications is prosthetic valve obstruction.

Raised Prosthetic Valve Gradients: What Should be the Approach?
The introduction of valve replacement surgery has dramatically improved the outcome of patients with valvular heart disease. Echocardiography plays an important role to determine the outcome of the surgery and follow up of these patients with prosthetic ...
