Valve thrombosis can occur in mechanical prosthetic valves and is increasingly recognised in transcatheter and surgically implanted bioprosthetic valves. The risk of thrombosis of mechanical valves is ...

But we made a deal. We would start the project by developing one valve at a time, taking the mitral first and later doing the heart. We shook hands. In the West that was it. I watched him walk to ...

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly common across the heart failure population. Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a feared complication that can occur in the early post-operative ...

Purpose: The drug therapy of common conditions and complications during labor and delivery and the fetal and neonatal effects of this therapy are examined. Summary: The pharmacologic therapy of ...

Pros of Artificial Valve Replacement Mechanical heart valves are less likely to require additional surgery to replace in the future than biological prosthetic (bioprosthetic) valves. Very strong. A ...

This creates another opportunity for blood clots to form. A bioprosthetic or "tissue" valve created from cow or pig tissue usually doesn't require a blood thinner long-term, but research has shown ...
