Abstract:Background. Detailed study of the histopathological events and mechanisms accompanying the infectious process in native heart valves and their biological prostheses is very important due to the variability of clinical manifestation of infective endocarditis (IE).Aim: To study cellular infiltration of aortic heart valves (AVs) and bioprosthetic heart valves (BPs) affected by infection, as well as to search for common patterns or differences of native and BPs characterized by degenerative changes in the leaflet … Show more
