FLUID MECHANICS OF ARTIFICIAL HEART VALVES [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 2009 SUMMARY Artificial heart valves have been in use for over five decades to replace diseased heart valves. Since the first heart valve replacement performed with a caged‐ball valve, more than 50 valve designs have been developed, differing principally in valve geometry, number of leaflets and material.

Dynamic Echocardiographic Imaging of a Valve-in-Valve Mitral Prosthesis
Case Reports in Radiology, 2022 Dynamic imaging of heart valves and specifically prosthetic valves is a central benefit of echocardiography. Most bioprosthetic heart valves degenerate over a given time and hence require repeat valve replacement which carries a significant risk of ...

Mechanical Heart Valves in Pregnancy [PDF]
Circulation, 2015 Caring for women with mechanical heart valves (MHVs) in pregnancy poses one of the greatest clinical challenges in our specialty. Pregnancy is a prothrombotic state because of the relative increases in fibrinogen, plasminogen activator inhibitors, clotting factors, Von Willebrand factor, and platelet adhesion molecules, and concomitant decreases in ...

Replacement of aortic valve flaps with an autopericardium using the S. Ozaki technique
Вестник хирургии имени И.И. Грекова, 2023 Classical aortic valve replacement is often fraught with negative outcomes for patients. When replacing the aortic valve with a mechanical valve prosthesis, the patient is associated for life with the use of indirect anticoagulants, which often leads to ...
