An echocardiographic comparison of sutureless and conventional aortic valve replacement : a matched case-control study [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Patients at a high operative risk for conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) may be offered sutureless valve implantation. Sutureless valves resemble conventional valves but incorporate an anchoring mechanism without using annular ...

Study on the Accuracy of Structural and FSI Heart Valves Simulations
Cardiovascular Engineering and Technology, 2018 The performance of heart valves, either native or artificial, can be evaluated by means of finite element analyses, either from a structural or a fluid–structure interaction (FSI) point of view. The latter captures the coupling between the valve leaflets

International Journal of Clinical Practice, 2014 Heart valve replacements improve symptoms and life expectancy but may have potential problems. Biological replacements have limited durability but do not require anticoagulation and are usually used for the relatively elderly. Mechanical valves have a virtually zero primary failure rate but require anticoagulation and are usually used for the ...

Recellularization of decellularized heart valves: Progress toward the tissue-engineered heart valve
Journal of Tissue Engineering, 2017 The tissue-engineered heart valve portends a new era in the field of valve replacement. Decellularized heart valves are of great interest as a scaffold for the tissue-engineered heart valve due to their naturally bioactive composition, clinical relevance

Standards for heart valve surgery in a ‘Heart Valve Centre of Excellence’ [PDF]
Open Heart, 2015 Surgical centres of excellence should include multidisciplinary teams with specialist expertise in imaging, clinical assessment and surgery for patients with heart valve disease. There should be structured training programmes for the staff involved in the periprocedural care of the patient and these should be overseen by national or international ...
