Structural valve deterioration in the Mitroflow biological heart valve prosthesis [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2017 Concern has been raised regarding the long-term durability of the Mitroflow biological heart valve prosthesis. Our aim was to assess the incidence of structural valve degeneration (SVD) for the Mitroflow bioprosthesis in a nationwide study in Denmark including all patients alive in Denmark who had received a Mitroflow aortic bioprosthesis since 2000 ...
