Background: Recent studies reported higher-than-expected rates of early structural valve degeneration (SVD) and/or reoperation of externally mounted leaflet aortic bioprosthesis compared with others. This meta-analysis aims to compare the outcomes of bioprostheses with externally versus internally mounted leaflet design in patients who underwent surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).

Methods: MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched through November 2021 to identify comparative studies investigating outcomes following SAVR with either externally or internally mounted leaflet aortic bioprosthesis.

Background: Limited mid-term durability of 12A/LX Mitroflow bioprosthesis has been reported. Aim of the study was to ascertain the pathologic substrates and possible mechanisms of structural valve deterioration in explants from animals and humans.

Methods: Nine aortic 12A/LX Mitroflow bioprostheses preserved in hypotonic solution and three aortic 12A/LX bioprostheses, preserved in isotonic solution, were explanted from juvenile sheep, mean time from implant 95.

Objectives: We sought to provide further evidence on the safety and efficacy of aortic valve neocuspidization (AVNeo) using autologous pericardium in adult patients with aortic valve disease by reporting clinical and echocardiographic results from the first UK experience and performing a meta-analytic comparison with other biological valve substitutes.

Methods: We reported clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of 55 patients (mean age 58 ± 15 years) undergoing AVNeo with autologous pericardium in 2 UK centres from 2018 to 2020. These results were included in a meta-analytic comparison between series on AVNeo (7 studies, 1205 patients, mean weighted follow-up 3.

Aim: To describe six cases using the bioprosthetic or native aortic scallop intentional laceration to prevent iatrogenic coronary artery obstruction technique to prevent coronary artery obstruction during transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve procedures.

Methods: All patients presented degeneration of a bovine pericardium bioprosthesis [four Trifecta (19, 21, 23, and 25 mm); two Mitroflow (25 and 27 mm)] resulting in severe aortic stenosis (n = 5) or severe aortic regurgitation (n = 1). Procedures were performed under fluoroscopic and echocardiography guidance, and the transfemoral access was used to deliver a self-expanding valve.
