THE ROLE OF ANTICOAGULATION THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH PROSTHETIC HEART VALVES
Klinicist, 2016 Cardiac surgery is the only radical method of treatment of valvular defects (congenital or acquired): valve preservation procedures or prosthetics operations.

Antithrombotic Therapy in Patients with Prosthetic Heart Valves [PDF]
Libyan Journal of Medicine, 2009 Patients with mechanical valve prostheses require a lifelong anticoagulant treatment. The combined use of Warfarin and low-dose aspirin appears to reduce the risk of valve thrombosis and systemic embolism at a low risk of bleeding.

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Neither Improves Survival nor Reduces Myocardial or Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) [PDF]
, 2020 BACKGROUND: Peri-interventional myocardial injury occurs frequently during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We assessed the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on myocardial injury, acute kidney injury (AKIN) and 6-month ...

Relationship between fibre orientation and tensile strength of natural collagen membranes for heart valve leaflets [PDF]
, 2011 Heart valve prostheses are used to replace native heart valves which that are damaged because of congenital diseases or due to ageing. Biological prostheses made of bovine pericardium are similar to native valves and do not require any anticoagulation ...
