Mechanical heart valve prostheses

Cardiovascular Pathology, 2003
Abstract Mechanical heart value prostheses have been in use since the 1950s. Many prostheses have been used for a while and then discontinued. Today, there are a large number and variety of prostheses in use and an even larger variety that are in place in patients. These may be explanted at any time for a number of reasons.

Thromboembolic complications of heart valve prostheses

American Heart Journal, 1971
Abstract One hundred seventy patients with prosthetic heart valves receiving anticoagulant therapy have been followed at one to four week intervals for three to sixty-eight months (mean: 26 months). The overall incidence of late emboli was 16 per cent.

Alloplastic materials for heart-valve prostheses

Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 1980
Alloplastic materials have found wide application in heart-valve prostheses, in spite of the need for permanent anticoagulant treatment. Though biological valves exhibit excellent thromboresistance, they fail in long-term application because of a disintegration of the tissue structure.

Heart valve prostheses

2015
Abstract Echocardiography is the single most-useful imaging modality to assess heart valve prosteses function. In the majority of patients, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is sufficient to assess baseline prostehsis hemodynamics and routine follow-up studies.

Tissue-Engineered Heart Valve Prostheses: ‘State of the Heart‘

Regenerative Medicine, 2008
In this article, we will review the current state of the art in heart valve tissue engineering. We provide an overview of mechanical and biological replacement options, outlining advantages and limitations of each option. Tissue engineering, as a field, is introduced, and specific aspects of valve tissue engineering are discussed (e.g., biomaterials ...

Pitfalls in statistical analysis of heart valve prostheses

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1989
Beware of the dangers of automated analysis, especially in multiple regression, and of overinterpretation of data. Do not let yourself be manipulated by numbers.
