A new study compares two leading types of aortic valve replacements and finds they have similar performance in terms of long-term risk of stroke and death for patients.

Spotlight on Bioprosthetic Aortic Valves Reduced leaflet motion in some bioprosthetic aortic valves prompts further investigation, additional clinical imaging.

Bioprosthetic and mechanical aortic valve replacement were associated with similar 15-year rates of all-cause mortality and stroke, according to data published in JAMA.Researchers evaluated 4,253 ...

In an analysis of about 460 patients with failed bioprosthetic aortic valves who underwent transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation, overall survival at one year was 83 percent, with survival ...

The incidence and mechanism of reduced leaflet motion in bioprosthetic aortic valves and the accompanying risks cannot yet be fully characterized. Whether it is clinically meaningful or merely an a ...

ApoB/apoA1 ratio predicted functional degeneration of aortic-valve bioprostheses in a prospective study, with implications for possible therapy. What did it mean that bisphosphonate use was also a ...

Implantation of a new bioprosthetic-tissue valve into the hearts of patients who have severe aortic stenosis and are too sick or too old for open-heart surgery has been found to both save lives ...

Michael Dismorr at the research group Thoracic Surgery, the Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, defended his thesis "Epidemiological studies of bioprosthetic aortic valves" on November ...

Heart valve surgery is a procedure to treat heart valve disease, which happens when at least one of the four heart valves is ...

LOS ANGELES -- Survival outcomes favored mechanical valves for isolated surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for people until age 60, after which a tissue valve may start to have an advantage ...

The data, which represent the longest clinical follow-up for Edwards' bioprosthetic surgical aortic valve with RESILIA tissue with a mean follow-up of 7.7 years, were presented today at the 103 rd ...

For patients with failed bioprosthetic surgical valves, the choice of valve-in-valve (ViV) transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) carried upfront advantages, but was ultimately associated ...
