Cavernous hemangioma of the mitral valve – a rare heart tumor. А clinical case [PDF]
Кардіохірургія та інтервенційна кардіологія, 2018 The article presents a clinical case of a rare benign heart neoplasm – a cavernous mitral valve hemangioma. Infiltrative growth of the tumor led to deformation of the valve with the development of mitral insufficiency and its replacement with a ...

Prediction of Turbulent Shear Stresses through Dysfunctional Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valves using Computational Fluid Dynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 There are more than 300,000 heart valves implanted annually worldwide with about 50% of them being mechanical valves. The heart valve replacement is often a common treatment for severe valvular disease. However, valves may dysfunction leading to adverse hemodynamic conditions.

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has changed the treatment of aortic stenosis. The Myval transcatheter heart valve (THV), a novel balloon‐expandable THV, has shown promising outcomes. Our aim is to compare the comparative safety and effectiveness of Myval THV against established THVs, such as Sapien and Evolut.

Q-fever prosthetic valve endocarditis in a patient with SLE and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome
Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2020 Q fever prosthetic valve endocarditis in association with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has not been previously reported. Here, we report a 22-year-old Saudi female diagnosed with SLE and APS.

Transcatheter Valve Unable to Cure Patient–Prosthesis Mismatch of Mosaic Bioprosthesis
The Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgeon Reports, 2016 Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been recently established as a less invasive alternative to conventional aortic valve replacement (CAVR) in patients presenting with expected high procedural risk.

Fluid dynamics of heart valves during atrial fibrillation: a lumped parameter-based approach [PDF]
, 2015 Atrial fibrillation (AF) consequences on the heart valve dynamics are usually studied along with a valvular disfunction or disease, since in medical monitoring the two pathologies are often concomitant. Aim of the present work is to study, through a stochastic lumped-parameter approach, the basic fluid dynamics variations of heart valves, when only ...

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Valve‐in‐valve (ViV) Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a valid treatment option in symptomatic patients with failed aortic bioprosthetic valves, most especially in those with intermediate, high or prohibitive risk of surgery. Due to the unique design of stentless bioprosthetic valves with absence of visible posts and

Quality of life in pediatric patients with tricuspid valve replacement
Патология кровообращения и кардиохирургия, 2018 The article presents the results of the assessment of 52 patients' quality of life that had tricuspid valve prosthesis at the age from 1 to 16 years. Quality of life was evaluated by using a Nottingham Health Profile questionnaire.

Outcome of heart valve prosthesis in Bangladesh: A retrospective study
Bangladesh Medical Research Council Bulletin, 2019 Background: Prosthetic heart valve for middle aged patients requiring valve replacement remains controversialBecause of the co-morbidities and limited life expectancy, bioprosthesis is the likely choice for older aged patients. Objective: The aim of the study was to quantify long term survival rate and major morbidity in patients undergoing heart

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aims Valve degeneration after DirectFlow implantation poses a challenge for valve‐in‐valve procedures due to its fragile polymeric structure and embolization risk. This study analyzes long‐term follow‐up of patients who underwent TAVI with DF to understand valve degeneration tendencies.
