Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe disorders, characterized by necrosis and epidermal detachment. Most important known acquired etiological factor is medications. Warfarin is one of the most common medications of cardiac valve surgery, which may rarely cause SJS or TEN. From this perspective, Aortic Valve Neocuspidization (AVNeo) procedure may be a good treatment option for such kind of patients, with a unique advantage of anticoagulation free postoperative course. In this report we aimed to share a patient with warfarin-induced STS/TEN, who was successfully treated with AVNeo procedure and mitral valve replacement.

Background: Interleaflet haemorrhage (IH) plays a well-recognized detrimental role in calcified aortic valve disease (CAVD). However, IH-induced fibro-osteogenic responses in valvular interstitial cells (VICs) appear to be triggered under specific pathological conditions. Iron deficiency (ID), a common co-morbidity in CAVD, may influence these responses.

Aortitis, defined as inflammation of the aorta, can lead to aneurysms and dissections. Intra-operative sampling is essential for diagnosis, with many cases presenting asymptomatically as clinically isolated aortitis. Previous studies investigating aortitis in major aortic surgery have been limited by low intra-operative sampling.

The need for a permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation after surgical aortic valve implantation (SAVR) is a recognized postoperative complication, with potentially long-term reduced survival. From 1987 to 2017, 2500 consecutive patients underwent SAVR with a biological valve with or without concomitant procedures such as CABG or mitral valve repair. Mechanical valves or valves in another position were excluded.

Bioprosthetic aortic valve degeneration (BAVD) is a significant clinical concern following both transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). The increasing use of bioprosthetic valves in aortic valve replacement in younger patients and the subsequent rise in cases of BAVD are acknowledged in this review which aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the incidence, diagnosis, predictors, and management of BAVD. Based on a thorough review of the existing literature, this article provides an updated overview of the biological mechanisms underlying valve degeneration, including calcification, structural deterioration, and inflammatory processes and addresses the various risk factors contributing to BAVD, such as patient demographics, comorbidities, and procedural variables.
