Key result
Multimodality imaging plays a crucial role in identifying structural valve degeneration and understanding the mechanisms of bioprosthetic heart valve dysfunction.
Why the study?
Despite progress in bioprosthetic heart valves, valve dysfunction and degeneration remain fundamental issues where imaging plays a key role.
Multidisciplinary imaging, including clinical and translational approaches, is essential for understanding and identifying the mechanisms of bioprosthetic heart valve degeneration and dysfunction.

Multimodality imaging aids bioprosthetic valve assessment; leaves open standardized protocols and prospective outcome validation.
Sellers et al. (2019) conducted a review in Bioprosthetic heart valve degeneration and dysfunction. Multimodality imaging (Echocardiography, CT, MRI) was evaluated. Multimodality imaging plays a crucial role in identifying structural valve degeneration and understanding the mechanisms of bioprosthetic heart valve dysfunction.
