Primary tissue failure, calcification, bacterial contamination, and pannus independently contribute to the structural dysfunction of bioprosthetic heart valves.
Глушкова et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Bioprosthetic heart valve dysfunction (n=1). UniLine bioprosthesis was evaluated on Causes of bioprosthetic valve dysfunction (pannus, calcification, primary tissue failure, bacterial contamination). Primary tissue failure, calcification, bacterial contamination, and pannus independently contributed to the dysfunction of the explanted 'UniLine' bioprosthetic heart valve.
