The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1965 SUMMARY This paper summarizes the experience in the treatment of a series of 1,370 cases of open-heart surgery. Of these, 964 valvular lesions and the associated pathologic lesion are analyzed. Details of correction and immediate and late results in the treatment of the following groups of lesions were studied: 74 cases of congenital aortic stenosis ...

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 ...

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
