Valvular heart disease (VHD) poses a significant threat to human health, and the transcatheter heart valve replacement (THVR) is the best treatment for severe VHD. Currently, the glutaraldehyde cross-linked commercial bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) remain the first choice for THVR. However, the cross-linking by glutaraldehyde exhibits several drawbacks, including calcification, inflammatory reactions, and difficult endothelialization, which limits the longevity and applicability of BHVs.

Background: Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) has become an important strategy for treating atrial fibrillation (AF), and postoperative recurrence represents a significant and actively discussed clinical concern. The recurrence after RFCA is considered closely related to inflammation. Systemic immune inflammation index (SII) is a novel inflammation predictor based on neutrophils, platelets, and lymphocytes, and is considered a biomarker that comprehensively reflects the immune inflammatory status of the body.

Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical condition with symptoms that result from ineffective ejection of blood due to functional or structural impairment of the heart. The most common causes of HF include ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction (MI), hypertension, and valvular heart disease (VHD). As HF progresses to advanced stages, interventions, like left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), become essential, especially for patients ineligible for heart transplantation.
