Tissue Heart Valve Replacement at BSMMU- Initial Experience with Two Cases

Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Journal, 2010
Research on prosthesis to replace diseased heart valves began almost simultaneously with mechanical valves which are durable but with inherent thromboembolic complication requiring life-long anticoagulant therapy and tissue valves which are more prone to

Choice of heart valve prosthesis [PDF]

Heart, 2002
It is 40 years since Starr and Edwards' description of successful prosthetic valve replacement in 1961. Some patients who underwent valve replacement with the original Starr-Edwards prosthesis in the 1960s are alive to this day. The Starr-Edwards ball and cage prosthesis, albeit in modified form, is still available commercially.

Infection in prosthetic material [PDF]

, 2015
Surgical site infection (SSI) occurs when a wound created as part of a surgical procedure becomes infected. SSI is one of the most common healthcare-associated infections and occurs in approximately 5% of patients undergoing a surgical procedure. SSI may

Porcine pulmonary valve decellularization with NaOH-based vs detergent process: preliminary in vitro and in vivo assessments

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2018
Background Glutaraldehyde fixed xenogeneic heart valve prosthesis are hindered by calcification and lack of growth potential. The aim of tissue decellularization is to remove tissue antigenicity, avoiding the use of glutaraldehyde and improve valve ...

Patient-specific image-based computer simulation for theprediction of valve morphology and calcium displacement after TAVI with the Medtronic CoreValve and the Edwards SAPIEN valve [PDF]

, 2016
AIMS: Our aim was to validate patient-specific software integrating baseline anatomy and biomechanical properties of both the aortic root and valve for the prediction of valve morphology and aortic leaflet calcium displacement after TAVI.
