OBJECTIVE: Aortic root replacement requires construction of a composite valve-graft and reimplantation of coronary arteries. This study assessed the feasibility of valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation after aortic root replacement.
Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) are commonly used as heart valve replacements but they are prone to fatigue failure; estimating their remaining life directly from medical images is difficult. Analyzing the valve performance can provide better guida...
The blood flow through the major vessels holds great diagnostic potential for the identification of cardiovascular complications and is therefore routinely assessed with current diagnostic modalities. Heart valves are subject to high hydrodynamic loa...

The paper presents novel method of dynamic feature selection (DFS) and its application in the problem of recognition of patient intent in the bioprosthesis control system. In the proposed approach features are selected dynamically, i.e. separately fo...
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital heart malformation, and a high percentage of patients with this condition will develop complications over time. It is rare that pilots undergo aortic valve surgery, ...
Nearly all forms of valve surgery are incompatible with fitness to fly. The biological valves have a small but definite thrombo-embolic risk and are prone to late failure. The prosthetic valves require long-term anticoagulant therapy and carry an una...
