Prosthetic Aortic Valves: Challenges and Solutions

Prosthetic Aortic Valves: Challenges and Solutions

Aortic Valve Disease (AVD) is the most common Valvular Heart Disease (VHD), affecting millions of people worldwide. Severe AVD is treated in most cases with prosthetic aortic valve replacement, which involves the substitution of the native aortic valve with a prosthetic one. In this review we will d...
