Mechanism and prevention of structural valve degeneration and Bioprosthetic valve failure / 中华胸心血管外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Structural valve degeneration (SVD) and bioprosthetic valve failure (BVF) seriously limits the service life of biological valves. Exploring the molecular mechanism and pathological process of SVD and BVF is an important way to improve valve durability and prognosis of patients with biological valves replacement. In this review, we systematically summarized the definition, pathogenesis, related molecular pathways and prevention strategies of SVD and BVF. This review is expected to provide a theoretical basis for the study of the mechanism of SVD and BVF and the development of clinical intervention targets.
