Management of Life-Threatening Bleeding in Patients With Mechanical Heart Valves. [PDF]

Cureus, 2021
Valvular heart disease is common in the United States, with a number of patients undergoing valve replacement procedures every year. The two types of valve prostheses include mechanical and bioprosthetic valves.

DOACs in Mechanical and Bioprosthetic Heart Valves: A Narrative Review of Emerging Data and Future Directions

Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, 2022
In the recent years, there has been significant transformation in the management of valvular heart disease (VHD), as a result of new minimally invasive technologies, such as the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics based FSI simulation of the native and mechanical heart valves in a patient-specific aortic model [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The failure of the aortic heart valve is common, resulting in deterioration of the pumping function of the heart. For the end stage valve failure, bi-leaflet mechanical valve (most popular artificial valve) is implanted.

Mechanical Unloading in Heart Failure

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018
Myocardial injury induces significant changes in ventricular structure and function at both the cellular and anatomic level, leading to ventricular remodeling and subsequent heart failure. Unloading left ventricular pressure has been studied in both the short-term and long-term settings, as a means of preventing or reversing cardiac remodeling.

Fluid–structure interaction modelling of a positive-displacement Total Artificial Heart

Scientific Reports, 2023
For those suffering from end-stage biventricular heart failure, and where a heart transplantation is not a viable option, a Total Artificial Heart (TAH) can be used as a bridge to transplant device.

The in vivo study of cardiac mechano-electric and mechano-mechanical coupling during heart development in zebrafish

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
In the adult heart, acute adaptation of electrical and mechanical activity to changes in mechanical load occurs via feedback processes known as “mechano-electric coupling” and “mechano-mechanical coupling.” Whether this occurs during cardiac development ...

Polymeric Heart Valves Will Displace Mechanical and Tissue Heart Valves: A New Era for the Medical Devices

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
The development of a novel artificial heart valve with outstanding durability and safety has remained a challenge since the first mechanical heart valve entered the market 65 years ago.
