Impact of Structural Valve Deterioration on Outcomes in the Cryopreserved Mitral Homograft Valve

Abstract

Mitral homografts have early echocardiographic results similar to those of valve repair. SVD produced mixed stenosis with insufficiency and its incidence was comparable to that of bioprosthetic SVD. An improvement in the preservation mode of valvular homografts is warranted.

Mitral endocarditis: A new management framework

“…SVD was more prevalent in cases of non-endocarditis etiology and in patients who had experienced pregnancy. 62,65 Similar results were echoed in a mitral homograft series from Yankah et al 64 and another study reporting the use of mitral homograft in the tricuspid position by Mestres et al 66 The comparability of mitral homograft with bioprostheses reported in a cohort of young patients, 60 together with the ease of use of these biosubstitutes in young females planning future pregnancies, 67,68 are strong points in favor of homografts in this context.…”

Use of allogeneic tissue to treat infective valvular disease: Has everything been said?

“…16,25 Similar results were obtained in another mitral series from Yankah and colleagues, 23 as well as in a study of the use of mitral homografts in the tricuspid position from Mestres and colleagues, 26 and also in a study on growing animals reported by Bernal and colleagues. 27 On this basis, the findings of comparable results with mitral homografts and bioprostheses in a cohort of young patients, 19 along with the effectiveness of these biosubstitutes in young females desiring future pregnancy, 28,29 make homografts an attractive alternative in our opinion.…”

Tissue Engineering of the Atrioventricular Valve: Decellularized Matrix in Ovine Mitral Allograft Model

“…И если для аортальной и легочной позиции были предложены сразу несколько типов протезов, как основанных на донорской ткани [6][7][8], так и синтетических [11], то для атриовентрикулярных клапанов по-прежне-му используются традиционные типы заменителей. Использование же криосохраненных МА очень ог-раничено и не дает преимуществ по сравнению с ксеногенными биологическими протезами [12].…”
