Key result
Transluminal catheter implantation of biological and mechanical-prosthetic aortic valves was feasible and resulted in competent valves in acute animal models.
Why the study?
Does transluminal catheter implantation of prosthetic heart valves demonstrate feasibility and competence in animal models?
Does transluminal catheter implantation of prosthetic heart valves demonstrate feasibility and competence in animal models?

Supports progression to human trials; leaves open durability, safety, and clinical efficacy questions.
Henning Andersen (2005) studied Prosthetic heart valve implantation (animal model) (n=27). Transluminal catheter implanted prosthetic heart valves was evaluated on Feasibility and competence of catheter implantation of artificial heart valves. Transluminal catheter implantation of biological and mechanical-prosthetic aortic valves was feasible and resulted in competent valves in acute animal models.
