Valve-Related Outcomes up to Six Years of a Next-Generation Bovine Pericardial Bioprosthesis Compared with Its Predecessor: A Propensity-Matched Analysis [PDF]
Background: Current ESC/EACTS guidelines recommend bioprosthetic valves for aortic valve replacement (AVR) in patients > 65 years, yet their use is increasing among younger individuals.

To determine the outcomes of bioprosthetic valve fracture (BVF) in valve‐in‐valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (ViV‐TAVI) for patients with structural valve degeneration (SVD) of bioprosthetic surgical valves (BSV) implanted during surgical ...

Polymorphic Size of Lipoprotein(a) and Structural Bioprosthetic Valve Degeneration.
The use of biological heart valves (BHV) is constantly growing for the treatment of patients with aortic stenosis and their durability arises as a main concern in the field.

Biological prostheses are increasingly been used in young patients to avoid anticoagulation. The Edwards Inspiris aortic bioprosthesis is extremely promising in this population, since it has shown reduced calcification of the prosthetic leaflets in

Early structural degeneration of Mitroflow aortic valve: another issue in addition to the mismatch? [PDF]
We reported two cases of early structural valve degeneration (SVD) with Mitroflow prosthesis in aortic position in patients above the age of 65 years. Microscopic aspects have been analysed to investigate the intrinsic mechanism of SVD. New techniques to improve the structure and the preservation of this prosthesis are needed in order to reduce ...

Heart valve replacement is a common cardiac surgical procedure used to treat native valvular diseases such as aortic and mitral stenosis and regurgitation. These procedures reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with diseased native valves and yet come at the expense of prosthetic valve complications.

New Insights Into the Pathophysiology of Structural Bioprosthetic Valve Degeneration
Biological heart valves (BHVs) are currently the main prosthetic substitute used to treat patients with severe valvular heart diseases. Unlike mechanical valves, BHVs provide better hemodynamic profile and lower thrombogenicity. However, their durability

Long-term Transcatheter Aortic Valve Durability [PDF]
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard of care for high-risk and inoperable surgical patients and a valid alternative to surgery for low- and intermediate-risk patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis.

P3697A reappraisal of bioprosthetic aortic valve failure related to structural valve degeneration
Structural valve degeneration (SVD) remains a major complication of aortic bioprostheses. We aimed to assess the mode of SVD leading to bioprosthetic aortic valve failure (BVF) in a large series of patients.
