[Structural valve deterioration after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a research update]. [PDF]
Structural valve deterioration (SVD) refers to intrinsic and irreversible pathological changes in the components of prosthetic heart valves, manifesting as fibrosis, calcification, wear and tear, loosening, as well as strut fracture or deformation of the valve framework.

Low-gradient Structural Valve Deterioration in a Patient of Cardiac Sarcoidosis. [PDF]
We report a case of structural valve deterioration, which occurred 7 years after aortic valve replacement in a 78-year-old male with cardiac sarcoidosis. His echocardiography showed low transprosthetic valve gradient and depressed left ventricular function.

Imaging of Bioprosthetic Valve Dysfunction after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation [PDF]
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard of care in elderly high-risk patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Recently, TAVI has been increasingly performed in younger-, intermediate- and lower-risk populations ...

Clinicopathological insights from early structural valve deterioration of a surgical and transcatheter valve-in-valve mitral bioprotheses. [PDF]
Introduction: transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is indicated in case of degenerated bioprosthesis in high-risk patients. however, durability of these valves still represents an important issue.
