Essential information on surgical heart valve characteristics for optimal valve prosthesis selection: expert consensus document from the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS)-The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS)-American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) Valve Labelling Ta

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2020
Comprehensive information on the characteristics of surgical heart valves (SHVs) is essential for optimal valve selection. Such information is also important in assessing SHV function after valve replacement. Despite the existing regulatory framework for

How rare is isolated rheumatic tricuspid valve disease? [PDF]

, 2020
The incidence of rheumatic fever (RF) has markedly decreased in Europe since the beginning of the 20th century due to improved living conditions, early antibiotic therapy in streptococcal pharyngitis, and changes in serotypes of circulating streptococci.

Design, development, testing at ISO standards and in vivo feasibility study of a novel polymeric heart valve prosthesis.

Biomaterials Science, 2020
Clinically available prosthetic heart valves are life-saving, but imperfect: mechanical valves requiring anticoagulation therapy, whilst bioprosthetic valves have limited durability.

Mechanical prosthetic mitral valve obstruction: Pannus or thrombus? A case report

Radiology Case Reports, 2023
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.

Heyde Syndrome Treated by Conventional Aortic Valve Replacement [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2019
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.

Raised Prosthetic Valve Gradients: What Should be the Approach?

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2019
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 ...

Evolving technology: the TRIFLO tri-leaflet mechanical valve without oral anticoagulation: a potential major innovation in valve surgery

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
The aortic valve is the most frequently diseased valve and aortic stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease in developed countries. The diseased native aortic valve can be replaced by either a biological or mechanical valve prosthesis ...
