Progress on a Novel, 3D-Printable Heart Valve Prosthesis [PDF]
Polymers, 2023 (1) Background: Polymeric heart valves are prostheses constructed out of flexible, synthetic materials to combine the advantageous hemodynamics of biological valves with the longevity of mechanical valves. This idea from the early days of heart valve prosthetics has experienced a renaissance in recent years due to advances in polymer science.

A Computational Tool for the Microstructure Optimization of a Polymeric Heart Valve Prosthesis [PDF]
Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 2016 Styrene-based block copolymers are promising materials for the development of a polymeric heart valve prosthesis (PHV), and the mechanical properties of these polymers can be tuned via the manufacturing process, orienting the cylindrical domains to achieve material anisotropy.

Manufacturing studies of a polymeric/composite heart valve prosthesis [PDF]
Polymer CompositesAbstractCurrent transcathether heart valves rely on metal mesh stents, resulting in discontinuous stent‐leaflet interfaces that introduce stress concentrations, reducing valve lifetime. This work aims to investigate non‐conventional methods to create a fully polymeric transcatheter heart valve, exhibiting a quasi‐continuous interface with ...

Third Re-Do Surgery in a Young Woman with Massive Early Double-Valve Prosthesis and Thromboembolic Stroke [PDF]
Romanian Journal of Cardiology, 2021 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
Вестник хирургии имени И.И. Грекова, 2023 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 ...

Clinical experience with the Bicarbon heart valve prosthesis [PDF]
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2007 We have previously reported mid-term results of a study, which ended in January 2000, on the Bicarbon valve. The study concluded that the valve showed excellent clinical results, associated with a low incidence of valve-related complications. In the present study, the same patients were prospectively followed for an additional 5 years.Forty-four ...
