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 ...

Double Valve Replacement (Mitral and Aortic) for Rheumatic Heart Disease: A 20-year experience with 300 patients. [PDF]
Introduction: Rheumatic heart disease still remains one of the leading causes of congestive heart failure and death owing to valvular pathologies, in developing countries.

Numerical simulation of a transcatheter aortic heart valve under application-related loading
For the treatment of severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis, minimally invasive heart valve prostheses have more recently become the lifesaving solution for elderly patients with high operational risk and thus, are often implanted in patients with ...

Patient Prosthesis Mismatch After SAVR and TAVR
Patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) remains one out of many factors to be considered during decision-making for the treatment of aortic valve pathologies. The idea of adequate sizing of a prosthetic heart valve was established by Rahimtoola already in 1978.

Controlled Comparison of Simulated Hemodynamics across Tricuspid and Bicuspid Aortic Valves [PDF]
Bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital heart defect, affecting 1-2% of the global population. Patients with bicuspid valves frequently develop dilation and aneurysms of the ascending aorta. Both hemodynamic and genetic factors are believed to contribute to dilation, yet the precise mechanism underlying this progression remains under debate.
