A surgical procedure aimed at repairing or reconstructing the aortic valve rather than replacing it with a prosthetic valve. Neocuspidization: A technique that involves creating new cusps for the ...

Patients aged between 50 to 70 years with a mechanical heart valve replacement had better long-term survival compared to those with a biological valve, new research has found.

“This data may inform heart teams in considering the optimal prosthesis used for aortic valve management in younger patients,” said Michael E. Bowdish, MD (Smidt Heart Institute, Cedars-Sinai Medical ...
