Nov 25th, 2020 - Fungal endocarditis (FE) is a rare disease, in which antifungal treatment is necessary. When FE is complicated with prosthetic heart valve and/or atrial fibrillation, the coadministration of antifungal agents and warfarin is inevitable. We report ...

Nov 6th, 2020 - The introduction of the first surgical prosthetic heart valves in the early 1960s made effective treatment of aortic valve disease possible. The goal of surgical aortic valve replacement is to replace the diseased aortic valve with a properly func...

Oct 12th, 2020 - The disturbance in the international normalized ratio (INR) in patients receiving warfarin therapy is of concern. We aimed to evaluate coagulation features in hospitalized patients under warfarin treatment for prosthetic heart valves during the no...

Oct 8th, 2020 - Following in vitro tests established for surgical prosthetic heart valves, transcatheter aortic valves (TAV) are similarly tested in idealized geometries- excluding effects that may hamper TAVR performance in situ. Testing in vitro in pulse duplic...

Sep 17th, 2020 - The choice of antithrombotic therapy, anticoagulants or antiplatelets, after prosthetic heart valve replacement or repair, remains a disputed topic in the literature. Antithrombotic therapies are used after heart valve intervention to reduce the r...

May 15th, 2019 - Intraoperative surgical prosthetic heart valve (SHV) choice is a key determinant of successful surgery and positive postoperative outcomes. Currently, many controversies exist around the sizing and labeling of SHVs rendering the comparison of diff...

Apr 20th, 2018 - The governing international standard for the development of prosthetic heart valves is International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 5840. This standard requires the assessment of the thrombus potential of transcatheter heart valve substitu...
